Bug

Closing res-edit requires a ridiculous key sequence:

  • No changes made: esc → ctrl+; → q → enter (4 steps)
  • Changes made: esc → ctrl+; → q → enter → ctrl+x → y (6 steps!)

Expected

Per the standardized ctrl+XYZ contract (see #7): a single quit binding (e.g. ctrl+x nano-style). If the buffer is clean, quit immediately. If dirty, prompt save/discard inline — not a modal chain.

Quitting should be 1 step (clean) or 2 steps (dirty + confirm), never 4–6.

Why this matters

This is the modal-hell problem the nano-style redesign exists to kill. Every extra step is a papercut that compounds across all residual tools.
