Popups and panels¶
By convention, every popups, side panels, header panels and table extralines can be closed with the <ESC> keypress.
The collector maintains a stack of those elements. When one is opened, it gets pushed to the stack. And the <ESC> keypress pops from the stack, closing the last opened element.
