📄 Description

Description

Clicking a cell in the transactions, budget, payees, or tags table jumps directly into edit mode, but pressing Escape previously did nothing useful: in plain text cells it would revert the typed value but the input stayed focused; in autocomplete or date-picker cells it didn't even do that. Multi-selecting rows via checkboxes also had no keyboard escape — you had to click the checkboxes again or use the toolbar to clear the selection.

This PR makes Escape a proper "back out" key:

  • Inside an editable cell: Escape exits edit mode and reverts the typed value.
  • With rows checkbox-selected (and no cell being edited): Escape clears the selection in a single press.
  • When both states overlap (a cell is being edited and rows are checked): the first Escape exits edit, the second clears the selection.
  • Popovers (autocomplete dropdown, date picker) keep their existing Escape-to-close behavior; their handlers stop propagation, so the new Escape logic only fires once the popover is closed.

None.

Testing

Manual:

  1. Open the demo budget (View demo).
  2. Budget grid: click any budgeted cell, type a new value, press Escape — cell exits edit mode and reverts to its previous value (the total budgeted at the top should not change).
  3. Transactions table (open any account):
    • Click a notes/payee/category cell, type, press Escape — value reverts and cell exits.
    • Open a category cell with the autocomplete dropdown, press Escape — dropdown closes; press Escape again — cell exits.
    • Check 3 rows via checkboxes, press Escape — all unchecked, toolbar disappears.
    • Check rows, then click another cell to edit; press Escape — exit edit (rows still checked); press Escape again — rows unchecked.
  4. Payees and Tags pages: same behavior where applicable.

Automated: new packages/desktop-client/e2e/keyboard-navigation.test.ts (6 tests) covers the budget grid (test budget + demo budget), transactions table (single ESC, multi-select clear, layered peel-off), and the cell-with-existing-value scenario that surfaces the value-revert path.

Checklist

  • Release notes added (see link above)
  • No obvious regressions in affected areas
  • Self-review has been performed - I understand what each change in the code does and why it is needed
