    Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access and in particular "All operations could be done with either the mouse or the keyboard;", I checked IDLE's dialogs.

    The Windows dialogs accessed as common dialogs work correctly. I will assume true for other OSes until told otherwise.

    The new Query widget recogizes <Return> for [Ok] but not <Escape> for [Cancel]. My omission, easily corrected.

    Search boxes cannot set options with keys. Notepad++ can.

    The Options dialog has no key equivalents.

    bpo-27621 is about <Return> invoking [Ok] even when the focus is on [Cancel].

    I agree that Esc should always cancel regardless of where the focus is.

    ConfigDialgo.__init__ has commented out key bindings for the buttons, including Esc for [Cancel]. We should establish 'IDLE Dialog Conventions', document (add to README.txt?), and follow consistently.

    bpo-27621 is about polishing Query box behavior. It should be generalized to other boxes.
