Description
In my opinion, pressing the escape button should function as simply exiting the notes field and keeping the content, instead of discarding the content.
It has already happened multiple times now that I've typed up a big note, just for muscle memory (probably from vim) to kick in.
Pressing ESC has already deleted many precious words that I had to type again.
I'm sure many will agree with me on this :)
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new Task
- Add Notes to it
- Press Escape
Expected behaviour
The notes should be saved
Actual behaviour
The notes are discarded
