I am re-opening because <Escape> still not unselecting in Ubuntu last Nightly Version 6.0.0-unknown-f21face~86~ubuntu16.04.1, release build.
With I press <Esc> in another toll that not the selection tool, Eschema change to the Selection tool ("blank point tool"). That is prefect correct.
But, once in this basic tool, pressing <Esc> again is expected that all selected objects go to unselect.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

We should be mimicking the Pcbnew behavior here. The first escape drops out of the current tool to the select tool. The second escape should clear all selections. This is by design to allow keeping selected objects highlighted when working with a different tool. I know this is less important than in the board editor but the behavior should be the same.

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

Totally agree, and it is work well at Pcbnew. In Eeschema that is missing the last <Esc> behavior.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

@Hildo, sorry about that. I misunderstood your comments.

@Jeff, does this make sense to you? I looks like the second escape is not clearing the selected objects.

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

Doesn't worry @wayne. My contribution here is at least keep tracking my reported issues.

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

@Jeff, I am marking as "in progress" because the discussion with @Wayne. Please, close at your will.

I believe this is fixed. Please re-open if you see it again (with steps).
