Wasn’t sure where to post this, it’s not a feature request more a mild inconvenience.
In the PCB and Footprint editor, you can’t exit the measure tool with the Esc button. When selecting any other tool from the right hand tool menu you can exit the tool by hitting Esc, reverting to the cursor tool (Select item(s)).
In order to exit the measure tool you need to select a different tool, Esc does not work.
