Makes sense. There is nothing denoting escape as the way to unset a hotkey, so having that and/or the X (albeit maybe not red). PR's welcome. |
Fixed in master |
I find that there should be some obvious way to remove a hotkey, like a red cross next to the set hotkey to remove it. Pressing escape in a situation where backspace or delete does not remove the hotkey is not intuitive at all, especially to a new user.
What I ended up doing (but not something that a normal user would do) was going to the configuration folder of this program and finding the json file containing the hotkey bindings, where I could finally set it to null again.
Take for example GNOME 3 settings.
The red cross near the set hotkey is a clear indication that you can remove the hotkey by clicking on the cross.
Here is an example of what it should look like (example taken from Polymer paper-input element demo):
