Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2001-11-02 05:08:41 EST 
Steps to reproduce
- open code assist in Java file
- press ESC 
observe: nothing happens

I suspect that this has something to do with the new ESC behaviour introduced 
by the workbench.
Comment 1 Kai-Uwe Maetzel CLA 2001-11-02 09:21:42 EST 
The problem is caused by the "Activate Editor" action which uses ESC as 
shortcut. Thus the content assist as well as the parameter info popup, the 
general info popup, etc. never see this key event.

ESC should be reserved for closing windows.

This also affects rename in the Navigator.  It activates the editor.
I will remove the ESC support for activating the editor.

As a workaround, in org.eclipse.ui/messages.properties, remove the @Esc from 
ActivateEditorAction.text.
