Consistency in closing pop-ups / dialog boxes

[NateLumen]

Problem: Some dialog boxes or pop ups must be closed by clicking either "Ok" or the close window button which, when they pop up in a far corner of the screen can add time and unnecessary effort to the workflow.

Solution: Make all pop-ups and dialog boxes consistent - Enter key means "OK" or whatever the highlighted button is, and the Escape key means "Cancel" or closes the window. This way us CAD workers can keep a smooth workflow.

Little things make a big difference.

@NateLumen  can you elaborate on which dialogues/popups where you see the inconsistency? Thanks.

[NateLumen]

@James B - I don't have a comprehensive list. I have been tracking it this past week and found that drawing update pop-ups (when layout drawings are updating) and the Layers dialogues both experience this issue. I will report back as I find more.

[NateLumen]

@James B Let's add to this list closing (cancel/escape) the Surfaces dialog.

[NateLumen]

@James B Let's also add the closing the Model View Options dialog. (I'll keep commenting as I find them).

[NateLumen]

@James B I'll also add closing the design option manager.

Hi @NateLumen thanks for sharing the examples.

I can't reproduce these issues, eg in Design Option Manager, if I press enter the dialogue closes with OK. If I was editing some text, it will finish that edit first, but a second enter will close the dialogue. If you are in Search, then enter finishes the search - so you'll need to press Tab first to exit the Search field. Is this what you are referring to?

[NateLumen]

@James B Yes. I am referring to closing these dialogs, but both with Enter (Ok) and Escape (Cancel). Some work with one, some work with both, some work with neither.
