Add keyboard shortcut to allow interacting with the UI while in the expression editor

Often while writing an expression, I'll need to refer to a property that isn't currently visible. In this case, I have to leave the expression editor to twirl down properties, and then have to open the expression editor again and find where I left off (and potentially have to resize the editor again).

 

It would be helpful, while the expression editor is active, to be able to hold down a key (eg. Alt), allowing the user to interact with other parts of the UI without closing the editor.

Not the same thing (it’s to temporarily suppress the pickwhip, whereas this post is asking to temporarily suppress the expression editor), but I’ve also added this related request.
