I think I agree totally with Ric. To clarify this, I find it terrible when in JGTK the Esc key loses all my steps in jijx, because I do not always work with an ijs page. So it is not enough for me for an Esc to only look for unsaved ijs pages; an Esc needs to check for a nonempty ijx, also. On the other hand, I am happy for the Esc key to dismiss separate plot or grid windows, for example.
