Escape out of file list?

When I have clicked on a file in the file/note list (leftmost pane), and then press Escape, I expect focus to move to the search bar. It doesn't. I can click on any number of notes in succession, and Escape does nothing.

However, if I click on a file/note, and then move focus with an arrow key, pressing Escape does indeed return focus to the (now blank) search field.

Similarly, if I navigate to the file list using the keyboard (down arrow from the search bar), and then press Escape, I do return to the (now empty) search bar.

I'd prefer Escape to always bring me to the search bar (and I've unchecked "Map escape key to autocompletion" in the preferences for this reason), but either I feel the behavior be the same whether I'm navigating the file list with the mouse or the key board.

  If you navigate the notes list with the arrow keys from the search bar, you never leave the search bar -- so Escape doesn't bring you back in that context -- you never left.

   

  But now it will move focus when you hit escape in the notes list as well.

   

  Thanks!
