Stop ESCaping from DAX editor when Intelli Sense is enabled

When editing a complex virtual table definition, IntelliSense often doesn't provide the assistance I need, so I instinctively press ESCAPE multiple times, just like in most other editors.

The problem is, this often results in losing my last modifications, which is incredibly frustrating.

It would be much better to send a beep instead of escaping when there are unsaved changes—clicking the red cross would cancel editing anyway.

  • This really needs to be addressed. It's incredibly frustrating to lose all my work after several minutes (or even hours) of refining a complex DAX measure — just because I accidentally hit escape too much times exiting IntelliSense or Ctrl+Shift+L! A simple confirmation dialog like: "Do you really want to discard all your changes?" (Default: NO) …would prevent so much unnecessary rework and frustration. Please consider adding this—it’s a small but critical quality-of-life improvement for Power BI users.
