ESC to remove popups?

[notuntoward]

I wrote a too-long sentence and harper tells me so. The problem is that harper's message comes inside a popup that prevents me from shortening that long sentence. In the screenshots below, I want to create a sentence break at "i.e." but when I put my cursor on "i.e.", the popup blocks it.

There must be a software convention that the escape key removes popups; I automatically hit ESC, and was surprised that the popup didn't disappear. Adding "ESC removes popups" functionality could be a way to to handle this.

Would you mind providing more information about which editing environment you are working from (Zed, Web, VSCode, Neovim, etc)?

Right. Obsidian.
