> When modifying a line of code there are context-sensitive pop-ups for
> syntax help, code completion and method/property enumeration, which is
> awesome. However, one type of pop-up requires that you press Escape to
> clear and the others do not. Being unable to reliably differentiate
> between pop-up types results in Escape being pressed in error which then
> causes the debug pane to be hidden. When using the debug pane to jump
> between search results, accidentally pressing Escape in an attempt to
> clear the context-sensitive pop-up results in the debug pane, and
> consequently the search results, being hidden. This significantly
> interrupts workflow and has been annoying the shit out of me for
> possibly years.

> I think the Escape key should be uncoupled from debug pane functionality
> entirely, forcing the user to use a different key or perhaps the mouse
> alone to show/hide or otherwise manipulate it. Is anyone else
> experiencing this or is it just me?
