Command Palette: No longer closes on Escape key

[mirka]

The Command Palette used to close on Esc, as can be observed in the WP Playground for WP 6.4. This is no longer the case in trunk.

Steps to reproduce

1. In the post editor, invoke the Command Palette (⌘K).
2. Hit Esc.

Expected behavior

The Command Palette closes.

Actual behavior

The Command Palette doesn't close.

As the screenshot below shows, I was unable to reproduce it in my environment. IME input also seems to be handled properly.

Which OS/browser is this issue occurring on? I tested in the following environment.

• OS: Windows OS
• WordPress Version: WordPress 6.5-beta1-57631
• Gutenberg Version: 17.7.0 (trunk)
• Browser: Chrome 121.0.6167.162, Firefox 122.0.1

I did some more testing. With WP Playground 6.5-beta1 on a Mac, the bug reproduces in Chrome but not in Safari/Firefox. However, I tried again with an Incognito tab and also on a different Mac (with different Chrome settings), and it did not reproduce.

It's just my specific Chrome setup that somehow exhibits this difference between WP 6.4 and 6.5 beta 😅 I have no idea what it is, but I'm going to have to close this as something on my end.

Thanks for testing!

Noting for anyone who sees this same issue — the culprit for me was the Vimium extension for Chrome. You will need to add disable URL rules for anywhere you use wp-admin on.
