  • Nodelist Browser cannot be exited using a software flow control based

    The new nodelist browser cannot be exited ysing a software flow control based terminal.

    Could we please add "Q" and "ESC" to exit the nodelist browser from the application's main menu, as per all other areas within the same application.

    Control-Q is a special sequence for XON, and therefore software flow control terminals cannot exit this application using Control-Q.

    ESC can be made to work here.

    I can add Q, but I think it's a fallback that only works if there's nothing in the lightbar that contains that letter. Text entry normally searches the lightbar list.

    I didn't give much thought to which ctrl keys were used, so suggestions for the others are welcome. (I don't generally know or pay attention to what CTRL-whatever corresponds to as a control code.)

    Can we add help text to say control-Q or ESC?
