Comment 5 for bug 555689

Sorry for coming in a little late on this, but it's really horrible having the input clear on escape. I push escape a lot (a habit I picked up from using Vim a lot) and I don't ever want it to clear the input field. There are a great many other Linux users with this habit too I'm sure.

It is also just weird behavior. Where did this idea come from that esc should clear the field?

Please, please make escape do nothing in the input field!
