First of all, thank you for near perfect commander.
There's only one drawback for me – how quick filtering works. I didnt find out how to set it up to fully suit my tastes. I am used to press CTRL+F, after that type expression i want to filter, then immediately cycle results with keyboard or press ESC to cancel filtering. In MC it doesnt work like that – I need to press enter to focus the results, if i want to cancel, i need to click into a box and delete text manually.
I tried at least to map ESC to cancel filtering, but i didnt find respective hotkey option.
Any help?

ESC is special, it can't be mapped because ESC cancel lots of different background operation too so they come in conflict.
But you do not need to click. Ctrl+F select everything in the ViewFilter so press backspace and return
Or create a script command that does it map that key (CustomCommand 'MC.Explorer.SetViewFilter FILTER="*.*" )
