Ability to Exit Right-Click Menu of References with Esc key

Sometimes, while using keys to navigate between rems etc., the right-click menu of references is triggered (for example, when going up a few rems using the key to a rem that is only a reference, e.g. the Aliases reference). As of now, there is no way to exit this besides clicking somewhere else with the mouse.

It would be much more convenient to be able to exit this menu using the Esc key (same as for exiting the / menu).

Agree. ESC could be used in many similar contexts to dismiss obtrusive UI when they’re not needed. Especially since ESC isn’t used for anything else, so there’s no harm.

For example, when text is selected we get the formatting menu (as well as the list of references), which I appreciate most of the time. But would like to be able to dismiss with keyboard.
