Is it possible to dismiss KM palette with esc key?

I have started to use KM palettes quite a bit now and I love them.

The only thing I wish I could do is if I could press escape key to dismiss it.

Right now to dismiss it I have to press my trigger key again.

Right now to get this behaviour I have to do this :

Make empty name macro and call my trigger again. I guess that works although I dislike how it will occupy one slot in the palette now.

I guess I can see why esc key does not default to quitting the palette since one can bind esc key to something else but I still think it would be quite nice if esc quit the palette by default.

What do you think?

Actually never mind. I actually like this default behaviour.

I have set my dismiss to be space key and it is pretty amazing. :yellow_heart:

It’s not clear your exact setup, so I don’t know what default behavior you’re seeing. With that in mind, I figured I’d share something from my palette configurations which may also help you.

My palettes are set to activate by using the Show A Palette For One Action When my chosen Hot Key is triggered. Since the palettes don’t contain macros which have Escape as a trigger, pressing Escape (or loads of other keys which aren’t in use for the macros) dismisses my palettes.

Yeah I just found out about Show A Palette For One Action from @JMichaelTX

I love it and am using it for all my ‘future’ palettes now. :slight_smile:
