Keyboard Shortcuts

Small UX suggestion: Allow for the overlay pane that is brought up when creating a new post, folder, note, etc. to be closed without saving, via the ESC key.
This would generally smooth out the UX and bring functionality more in line with other browser overlays that serve similar functions. EX: When using Twitter in a desktop browser, the tweet window can be closed with ESC without saving it as a draft or being prompted in any way.

I have added this shortcut to the scheduling, note & new folder popups.
ESC: Close popup without any prompts.
Do you have any other ideas of shortcuts that would make your life easier? I'm happy to expand on this and create more!

I believe I just asked for the same thing. Please don't make me touch my mouse :D

TK: Haha, yeah I'm happy to add it, but what flow should we do?
Should it be ESC brings up a prompt to save/cancel, then you can hit enter to close?
Or, should we do a combo to close it with no prompt? Like CTRL + ESC or something?

Tim: More so for an already scheduled post. When I hit ESC I would like the same response as hitting cancel.

Hey Joaquin Stewart-Soriano,
Yeah that sounds like a good improvement, however I just tested Twitter and they do actually show a prompt to confirm if you want to exit (by pressing esc):
It can happen that you accidentally click it, or your cat walks on the keyboard haha. Do you think we should add it like this, with a prompt?
We could always do it with the prompt, but also have something like shift + esc to exit with no prompt?

Tim: Interesting! I don't get that prompt to save a draft at all on Twitter when I hit esc.
I think a prompt or specific keyboard shortcut could work, though a prompt would probably fall in line a little more how Pallyy's UX flow works already.
