Escape button stop all when in the editor window.

Hi Mike

Is there any chance that you could make the Escape button stop all when in the editor window to? I find when editing live and need to stop all the running cues I need to stop editing and then go back to live then press escape to stop all. If I could just stop all while editing it would save a lot of time. :D

Thanks

Greig.

Couple of points: firstly the ESC key does have other uses when the Editor is being used, so I'm not keen on activating main window actions from the Editor. Secondly, you can set focus back to the main window by clicking on the corresponding entry in the task bar (which is probably at the bottom of the screen) - you do not have to close the Editor. Having set focus back to the main window and pressed ESC, you can then click on the Editor entry in the task bar to get back to where you were.
