When using `Change Task` and pressing ESC, it should revert to what it was

Just a small annoyance, one can do undo and get the previous taskname back, but it feels kinda bad, that pressing ESC leaves the input just as if i had pressed RETURN.

I feel like it used to do this and then I changed it for some reason, but I can't think why... I agree this seems like the obvious behaviour.

Relating to that issue, i also find it odd, that right away when doing Change Task the whole Taskname disappears. Lets say i only wanted to change one symbol in there, i'd have to retype the whole thing.

Edit: another related oddity is that when one adds Subtasks and presses ESC without inputting anything, Taskell creates a subtask called ---

You probably want to use edit instead of change. change "changes" the whole thing. edit edits the existing thing. By default e/i/A all work for edit.

The subtasks --- one is also something I added at some point and I can't remember why... It used to just not create one. I'll have to look in my Git history and work out why I changed it!

Since you are going for "vim like controls" pressing ESC should put you out of insert/edit/change mode and NOT revert any changes that were caused by entering these modes.
