Problem Description
While using a tool the ESC key is pressed to move focus away from tool dialog.
This is so that the 'Enter' key will move focus to the key-in input field.
Instead the ESC key closes the tool.
Steps to Resolve
In MicroStation CONNECT Edition:
- Go to File > Settings > User > Preferences > Category: Input
