Yeah, this really bugs me as well.  Unfortunately I don't see a real
easy way to solve it.  What is wanted, I believe, for accept/cancel to
work on the level of an entire dialogue, but right now it happens with
each input field individually.  I usually solve this by having the
target of the "do it" button manually call #accept on all of the text
morphs before proceeding, but it's a very klunky solution.


I guess a simple thing that would help a little is to make text morphs
auto-accept whenever they lose focus.  I notice that this is how some of
the string-editors in the omni-user environment work.  It should be
reasonable to add yet one more flag to PluggableTextMorph for this, and
to check for it in mouseLeave:.


On a related note, we may wish to change to Escape instead of or in
addition to alt-l at some point for "cancel".  This is more familiar to
most people.
