Esc to Close any Pop-ups or Panels

@pesala How did you get a green background ? looks cool..
-
@rojaviv Edit your theme.
I will tag this as WILL NOT DO because I think it cannot be done. No doubt a Vivaldi insider will change that if it is feasible.
-
Sounds good..thanks @Pesala !
-
@rojaviv This might be a relevant request. If this was implemented, you could then assign a key to it.

@lonm To me it seems like the default setting of F4 (or I may have changed it, on another computer it was Alt+F4, which with my bluetooth keyboard where I have to use funny buttons for function keys crashed V, and I had to watch Linus's tirade all over again.) works great for exactly this purpose.
Any panel I open, I hit F4 and poof! its gone. F4 again and it comes back to where we were. Doesn't it work that way for you ? One nice thing could be if it gently closed itself when it has lost focus in 2-3 min. (Would be nice for Find bar to do that too)
-
@rojaviv I use a mouse gesture. Since my panels are on the right I use GestureRight, GestureLeft.
-
~~@pesala Nice - but I dont see an option for Close Panel in Mouse options ?~~Nm, see it now Thanks for pointing it out!

@rojaviv F4 works for me to close the open panel, however it also hides the panel toolbar itself, which means I can't see my panel icons or click any of the buttons, which isn't what I want.

Back to having Esc close settings window - just a quick question - as I was assigning sensible shortcuts (I think its a blessing in disguise that V Sync is not yet upto snuff - I am becoming more familiar with where each setting is, doing the same thing on multiple computers , I noticed the shortcut for Stop Loading was Esc (thought it was internal)
I doubt anyone uses or needs this key, as everyone's (who uses V at least internet must be pretty fast, not dial-up, and for me, V loading is faster than Chrome, and browsers are smart enough these days to detect when a page is slow and prompt you if you want to stop loading.
Anyway I removed that shortcut, now am wondering which setting I can assign Esc to, for closing modal (settings) windows.
Close window will close the browser right so I cant use that

@pesala said in Esc to Close any Pop-ups or Panels:
although you can remove that assignment, it cannot be assigned to any other command because it is reserved to another function in the settings dialogue = clearing the search field.

@pesala ok guess I will stick to settings in tabs then.
