Description guser 2025-03-07 05:59:01 UTC
Currently when I press ESC in table view, the entire row is deleted. Please add a function for one press of ESC to remove only the current field value or restore the original field value. And when ESC is pressed twice, it will delete the row or return the original value of the row.

No deletions with ESC key on my side. The only way to delete a row is with DEL key furthermore you need to confirm the deletion in a dialog

If you set cursor in a new row type content to the fields and press ESC the whole content from the new row will be removed.

If you set cursor in an existing row and change content, then press ESC the old content will be shown and nothing would be changed.

I wouldn't change this behavior. Refresh row should work with ESC.
There is no function available at this moment to only refresh one field. If it would be available I would prefer something like CTRL + ESC or SHIFT + ESC.

This is a vailid ask for an enhancement. So I will set this one to new.
