Hi Burr well the method I was thinking of was if a filter was active esc would clear the filter, but then after that any further presses of escape would be with no filter active and it would behave the same as now.

Since enabling a filter really constrains selection in a big way, it's something that I kind of expect you would activate for a short time period, maybe just to help make one particular selection - then since it really restricts what you can select you will want to get out of the filter soon after you've done that particular selection - that's what the escape key will help with.

We'll have to see if that works out well in practice or not - if it seems to get in the way then at least I can add in a moi.ini flag to not do the esc de-filtering shortcut.
