Question

Don't reset view rotation when pressing Escape?

Hi! Is there a way to prevent Illustrator from resetting the view rotation when pressing Escape?

 

I'm trying to edit PDFs in Illustrator. First, I rotate the view 90° so I can read the document in the correct orientation.

 

The problem I'm running into is that sometimes I accidentally press Escape twice when I'm trying to exit text editing, or to exit object isolation, and then I am back to the original orientation.

 

I'd like to be able to turn off the Escape key resetting the view orientation.

Shortcuts can be edited in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts

But resetting the rotation via Esc is not in the list.

Right. Ok thank you!

 

I wish Adobe would take a memo from Jetbrains. They have a way better interface for editing keyboard shortcuts.
