When FAYT field is in range mode #, ESC key will deselect any files which are already selected

I select some files, input "#" to display the FAYT field in range selecting mode, and then input nothing, then I press ESC key, no item will be select. It behaves as "select none".

Because "ENTER" key is inconvenient to press with the left hand, I prefer to press ESC instead.
I hope it not do the "deselect". Think this:
input #, input 3 to select the 3rd file, press esc to close the CLI bar,do some operation on the selected file.
input #, input 25 to select the 25th file, press esc to close the CLI bar,do some operation on the selected file.
and so on....

When the FAYT bar is closed,I need the file selection to be kept.

I use AHK script so that I can press ` to display FAYT in range selecting mode, as the combination key 'shift+3' is not convenient to press.

`::{
	;msgbox A_ThisHotkey "  " A_PriorKey
	if !KeyWait("``", "T0.4") { ; 长按超过0.4秒则激活DO最右边标签
		DOpusRun('Go TABSELECT=last')
		KeyWait "``"
	}
	else {
		classNN := FocusClassNN()
		if classNN ~= "Edit1|Edit2|Edit3|RichEdit20W1"
			SendInput "``"
		else {
			;SendText "`#"
			DOpusRun('CLI QUICKRANGE noselect:#')
		}
	}
}

You can change the activation key in Preferences, under Quick Keys.

But Esc will always deselect once in that mode, by design.

Depending on which number keys you use, all or half of them are nearer Return than Esc. Wouldn’t you need to use your right hand (or move the left hand over) anyway, just to type the numbers a lot of the time?

I want to use `` key (above TAB key, the left side of '1' key), because it is so convenient to press.
I have a try to set FYAT RANGE quick key to it , I can press ` to Activate the FYAT bar,but connot select files by inputting number.
