Re: Escape key in text-input-pane on Windows

Erik,

I’m guessing that you want to use the escape key to clear out the pane (is it being used as a search field)?

Anyway, I’ve never been able to get this to work in my applications. If it is a kind of search field, then what I’ve always done is making an “Edit->Clear” menu item that does it. Funny, though, for Windows, you can use #\escape as the :accelerator for the menu item, but on OS X you can’t, so I just leave it blank on OS X and let the pane control handle it.

Sorry I didn’t have a better solution for you. :-(
