Yeah, I recall the convention, I just couldn't actually think of an application today that canceled text field editing with command- period. I wonder why people aren't doing this.

I can't say I've seen such behaviour in an app before. Interesting
that I've never noticed that at least most of the apps I have don't
support table editing cancellation via command-period.

Got any examples of apps that do it this way in addition to escape?

Not offhand. But the HIG is quite clear that Escape and Cmd-. are synonymous. Very old Mac keyboards did not have Escape keys. :)

The docs for NSResponder cancelOperation even say "This method is bound
to the Escape and Command-. (period) keys".
