Escape key no longer clears current search in desktop client
It appears as if pressing the ESC key no longer clears the current search results. Instead, I now have to use the mouse to click on a tiny "X" icon, which is supremely less convenient.

1P_Dave - not exactly, though I think I now see a new-to-me feature that may have crept in and I missed it. The behavior I'm talking about is once I've searched for items, and presumably hit Enter to filter the list of items to those that match, I'll end up with something like this example here.
You'll note that my cursor is not in the search field at all.
Previously, when I pressed Escape, the current filter would be cleared, and I'd be back to seeing all the items. Now, Escape does nothing.
I also noted that I can now "backup" (or go forward) in my filtered view using browser-like "backward" and forward arrows. I can also use traditional browser shortcuts like ⌘-[ and ⌘-] (on macOS). Sure that's a workaround, but now I wonder: Why on earth would I want my 1Password desktop client to behave like a browser? It's not. Despite the Electron base. Is there a way to disable the entire history feature? It's not useful (to me).
Moreover, the addition of the history feature means that if I wanted to clear the search bar of any previous search, I can't simply type ⌘-F and clear that field. The tool won't allow me to filter on nothing (i.e. an empty string), which in my opinion means "show me everything".
Regardless of the history feature, can we please just have back the Escape behavior of previous versions?
