I am not sure if I understand correctly.  I think that what you ask is
if this can also be implemented for 'Ctrl-G' as well as for 'Esc'.

In this case, the answer is that yes, it has been implemented for both,
because I am using what cwidget considers as "Cancel" keys, which are
these:

  cancelkey.push_back(KEY_CTRL(L'g'));
  cancelkey.push_back(key(L'\e', true));
  cancelkey.push_back(KEY_CTRL(L'['));
		  
The first is Control-g, the other two are two variants of Escape, I
think.

(If you can confirm that it works for both before the next release, it
would be great).


Cheers.
