Description

I'm prepending 'Deselect' action to esc binding chain-of-actions.
Even though 'Deselect' action is not documented. Like this:

"Esc": "Deselect|UnhighlightSearch|RemoveAllMultiCursors|Escape",

I'd suggest we add this to the documentation, if you're OK with this.
Should we take the opportunity to change
https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/internal/action/actions.go#L1523
as bellow, according to PR 2395?

h.Cursor.Deselect(buffer.ResetLocationDefault)

Research direction

Start by reading the Deselect action and its surrounding code in internal/action/actions.go near line 1523, then compare the suggested change with PR 2395. Check how the Esc chain uses Deselect and identify where actions are documented. Done means the supported Deselect action and its behavior are accurately documented, with the related code change resolved if still needed.
