Escape behaviour while editing MText

Mateusz Lawrynowicz

Hello

I am in V17 and editing a lot of MText and I am finding myself having to reach for the mouse and click on OK or outside the MText box to accept changes.

The main question: is there a way of accepting the changes using the keyboard? I've done some googling and the only lead I came across is that in Autocad you can get Escape to accept the changes whereas in my BricsCAD it rejects them (yes, that's a lot of rewriting...)

While I'm here, another nuisance I've been experiencing is that the MText toolbar always crops up in the most annoying place and I'm having to move it just about every time. I've not researched this just yet and there might be an easy fix but if anyone wants to help with this then feel free.

Thanks

6. To conclude the command and close the Text formatting toolbar do one of the following:
   - Click the OK button.
   - Press Ctrl+Enter.
   - Click outside the MText entity.
