Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

If you start drawing mode and draw something, after you press Esc, the drawing mode is closing with no prompt and you lose what you draw.
Please add a dialog to save the drawing when exiting draw mode by Esc, like it's for Record command.
Or, please, put it as an option (checkbox).

Scenario when this would be used?

Research direction

Start by locating ZoomIt's draw-mode exit handling for Esc and the existing Record command's save prompt. Done means exiting draw mode with Esc no longer silently loses a drawing: it should offer saving in the same way as Record, or expose the requested checkbox option if that approach is chosen.
