Re: quicknote and <esc> key

 

IMO Ctrl-Enter is too widely used for newlines (e.g. Excel). I don't like
Ctrol-O because to me it suggests open (cf. Alt-F, O)

How about Ctrl-D (cf. end of file / shell terminator)
or Ctrl-X (Alt-F, X)
or Ctrl-C (Alt-F, C / U*nix break)

I like Ctrl-D but maybe that is too U*ix oriented? Like me :-)
