Models can contain tons and tons of tools, and sometimes you need to pop into a bunch of them successively to take a peek at information or make updates. This could be a really quick open-and-scan process, but it's not. The windows open right over the workspace -- which is actually convenient -- but they're difficult to close -- you have to slow down and go click the X in the corner. I could work much, much more efficiently if Esc could be used to close these little GP windows similar to others like them (ex: select by attributes when opened as standalone, layer properties, etc.)

I should also note that the documented default keyboard shortcut for closing views -- Ctrl+F4 -- also does not close these suckers. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/arcgis-pro-keyboard-shortcuts.htm

 

Heck, I'd settle for Ctrl+W, but for dialog boxes across Windows, Esc is the intuitive choice.
