pop-os
press Esc to close popups
Currently the only obvious way to close applet popup windows is to click on the applet again. It would be nice to be able to close the popup windows with Escape.
A more annoying thing is that apps lose focus after using an applet: this might be okay when tiling, but feels surprising when floating windows to me. But that may be a compositor issue? Combined with less predictable window switching currently it becomes a bit of a usability issue I would say.

Ya, clicking anywhere but the panel or applet should also close it too. I'll add escape as another option though.

The panel and applets are normal applications, so they do receive focus when interacted with. That being said, cosmic-comp could possibly restore focus after the panel popup is closed though.
