Pioneer dev forum

For completeness, I have finally published a PR containing a new behaviour for the ESC button. For anyone whom might be interested, you can check the details here:

Thank you for the explanation jpab, it will be useful for ESCaping from the mission details dialog at the very least. At this point I think I've enough information to start the project, but I'll contact you for sure if I have further questions.
