[Feature Request]: Cancel canned message with main button #4132

Description

I would appreciate if pressing the main button(the one that cycles screens) would cancel the canned message sending, so when I hit the button on the rotary encoder accidentally, it won't send a message on it's own.

And could there be an option to turn on a confirmation dialog to make sure I don't send a message accidentally?

I understand your concerns about accidental presses. While implementing a confirmation dialog or button press cancellation in the firmware could address this issue, it might also introduce delays that could be problematic in urgent situations.

It might be beneficial to consider a case design that makes accidental presses less likely. A well-designed case can help prevent unintentional button activations, maintaining the device's instant response capability, which is crucial for emergency scenarios.

And what about resetting the selector when the button 0 gets pressed? I find it annoying when I can't cancel a message selection.
