Keyboard shortcut for closing dialogs/pods

[Craig Ede]

The FM 5.5 UNIX Solaris version was so nice in that regard as you could use
the OS capabilities to assign shortcut key that were a single key and along
with Cntl/Alt and even add a shift to expand the options. I patterned mine
(mostly) after the Mac shortcut keys (substituting for the Apple key with
Cntl or Alt w/ or w/o shift). That is the kind of pattern they should shoot
for in shortcut keys when designing the interface, but some of this is
limited by the limitations of the OS. Is Windows that inflexible that this
can't be done?

(That is, if you consider five key presses a "shortcut"...)
