Exit multiple autocomplete popups/suggestions with a single escape key press
When typing there's autocomplete suggestions which is fine. Often this will usually come up with multiple boxes, eg:
When I press the escape key above, I get this:
As can be seen a popup box remains. My intention in pressing the escape key is to exit all the popup boxes, not just the outer most one. Ie, I want this from a single escape key press (instead of needing to press it 2 or more times):
This may seem trivial but sometimes the autocomplete boxes go up to 3 or more nested levels depending upon the IDE (requiring 3+ escape key presses to get rid of them), and nearly every statement I write I find I'm constantly pressing escape many times to get rid of these autosuggestions. To be clear I don't want to get rid of them completely, just want to get rid of them when they show up from a single escape key press instead of multiple key presses.
Is there way to do this, as shown?

It looks like intended behavior and there seems no way to configure it. Feel free to raise anew issue at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA to discuss it with the developers/project managers.
Probably too obvious workaround - you can left click on the editor area to get rid of all popups at once
Thank you!
