[Geomoose-users] use esc key to deactivate tools

[Jim Klassen]

Given the nature of this extension requiring OpenLayers to be updated, I am reluctant to put it in trunk until the OL dependency is met.  While it works for me, but please consider this experimental and understand you will need a good working knowledge of GeoMoose and its build system to effectively use it.  Also, recognize that there has been little to no testing of GeoMoose against OpenLayers 2.12 so you are on your own.  Also, please do not use this as an example of how to write a proper extension.  That said, for the adventurous and those who don't care (or know how to fix it if it breaks with the next GeoMoose release), enjoy.

If there is interest I can work on packing it up.  My strategy was to activate the keyboard control when one of the pan/zoom in/zoom out tools is active.  The tool deactivates when the user changes tools or moves focus outside of the map.
