Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access and in particular "All operations could be done with either the mouse or the keyboard;", I checked IDLE's dialogs. The Windows dialogs accessed as common dialogs work correctly. I will assume true for other OSes until told otherwise. The new Query widget recogizes <Return> for [Ok] but not <Escape> for [Cancel]. My omission, easily corrected. Search boxes cannot set options with keys. Notepad++ can. The Options dialog has no key equivalents.msg271312 - (view) Author: Roundup Robot (python-dev)

#27621 is about <Return> invoking [Ok] even when the focus is on [Cancel].msg271345 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) *

I agree that Esc should always cancel regardless of where the focus is.msg271480 - (view) Author: Roundup Robot (python-dev)

ConfigDialgo.__init__ has commented out key bindings for the buttons, including Esc for [Cancel]. We should establish 'IDLE Dialog Conventions', document (add to README.txt?), and follow consistently. #27621 is about polishing Query box behavior. It should be generalized to other boxes.
