Feature: text epigraphy editor

It would streamline the workflow for editing texts if you could hit the ESC key to exit out of an edit feature you have already selected, rather than having to manually click the CANCEL button each time. Currently, those edit features that bring up a separate dialogue box are the only ones that can do this. The current ones lacking this feature are:

• ADD:Side
• ADD:Broken Area
• ADD:Ruling
• ADD:Seal Impression
• ADD:Uninscribed Line(s)
• ADD:Line
• ADD:Broken Line(s)
• ADD:Word / Number
• ADD:Sign
• ADD:Broken Sign(s)
• ADD:Word Divider
• EDIT:Change Column Order
• EDIT:Broken Area
• EDIT:Ruling
• EDIT:Seal Impression
• EDIT:Uninscribed Line(s)
• EDIT:Broken Line(s)
• EDIT:Sign
• EDIT:Broken Sign(s)
• EDIT:Word Divider Markup
• SPLIT:Line
• SPLIT:Word / Number
• MERGE:Lines
• MERGE:Words / Numbers
• REORDER:Signs
• REMOVE:Side
• REMOVE:Column
• REMOVE:Broken Area
• REMOVE:Ruling
• REMOVE:Seal Impression
• REMOVE:Uninscribed Line(s)
• REMOVE:Line
• REMOVE:Broken Line(s)
• REMOVE:Word / Number

Feature: text epigraphy editor

• It would be nice if after selecting one of the above edit features, it wouldn't turn off the selected edit if you click on a different side of the tablet.
• It would also be nice if when you accidentally select the wrong thing to edit and hit cancel, that it was still in the given edit feature instead of back to none being selected.
