Shane Ardell commented on NIFI-13481:
-------------------------------------
I think we could use Escape safely with a modifier, such as Shift + Escape, to
return back to the canvas. As long as we ensure to avoid single letter keyboard
shortcuts and common screen reader keyboard shortcuts [1], any modifier +
Escape should work well.
How many other hotkeys are available? It might be worth considering adding a
link to the nav menu that opens a modal containing a listing of all keyboard
shortcuts.

> Key: NIFI-13481

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Core UI
> Reporter: Matt Gilman
> Priority: Major
>
> In the old UI, various pages were shown in a giant modal dialog. The user
> could simply return to the canvas by hitting Escape. In the new UI, these
> pages are shown in their own page and not in a modal. In this updated UX, the
> Escape button no longer makes sense. But we should consider other
> alternatives (hotkey for back?) to navigate back to the canvas quickly.
