What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Clearing a selection in the scroll view is now the keybinding action selection:clear in the "Scroll" context, so you can rebind it. When nothing is selected the handler declines the key so it falls through to whatever else wants it.
Details
Escape has been added to the list of keys that no longer clear a selection, alongside wheel scroll, page up and page down.
Evidence
"selection:clear"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
