habit. All my changes are then gone without a "Hey you changed stuff!
Are you sure?"
I don't think there is a way. And I am not sure it is a common enough
case to allow for a preference or so.
But it sounds like you would be satisfied with LyX asking whether to
discard changes made to the preamble before cancelling the dialog. I
think that is generally a good idea. After all, it is like editing your
document where we also don't just let the user close the window without
asking.

Attached is a simple patch that avoids the dialog being closed when the
Esc key is pressed. The patch presupposes the source code patch to
ticket #12577 (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12577).
As suggested above, at least additionally, there should also be a
warning when source codes where changed whether the dialog should be
closed. But that is not implemented with this patch.
Probalby the better solution is the other one you mentioned: If there
are changes, do not close without asking first. This could be
implemented quite generally, I suspect, though the GuiDialog class (and
whatever one is the other one---remember we have two parallel dialog
classes for no terribly good reason).
