Description
Hi, this might be trivial but for a first user the way to exit a .txt file is not intuitive from the keyboard.
The focus is on a text editor and the normal ESC button does not work. The editor should either accept "Escape" as a button, or there should be a toaster notification for the user, like "Press SHIFT+ALT, ESC to close this editor".
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by locating the keyboard handling for the text editor used with .txt files and reproduce the current Escape behavior. Done means either Escape closes the editor or a toaster clearly tells users how to exit, including the existing SHIFT+ALT, ESC shortcut.
