Jira escape stop Extension

Have you ever used Jira? Have you ever edited a work item in Jira and somehow pressed the Escape key? If you have, then you have seen the horror of losing whatever you typed in there.

All feedback is welcome!

Bart de Boer (ID: 0000001483b53cbc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/05/2019 Works great on the old view; does NOT work on the new issue view, which is a good thing as in the new view, while escape closes the editor without saving, re-opening it right away DOES give you back your changes right away!
