It now falls through to whatever else handles Escape, and the same exemption covers page up, page down, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End and shifted or modified arrow keys.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Ordinary typing still clears the selection, as does the `selection:clear` binding.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`selection:clear`\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
