Feature: Add a stop button to journal #823

Leaving the journal for the home view can be done with F3, or F6. For new users, perhaps it would be handy to have a stop button which does the same thing. An escape key might also do the same. Downside is reduced journal search entry box size.

The problem is that the Journal is treated as an activity. If it did not take the button of the current activity, the user can return by clicking on the current activity. Since the Journal always has an active button, making it behave like an activty is unnecessary.

  • discussion of user experience and design, leading to consensus,
  • identify or add method for journal to activate home view,
  • add stop button,
  • add escape key handler.

No, it doesn't always have an active button. Some systems don't have F5 key that works without pressing Fn first. I'm working on such a system now.
