What's Wrong?

When using the /add-dir command in JetBrains Rider, pressing Escape does not cancel or close the directory selection dialog. The user cannot exit the flow using the keyboard.

What Should Happen?

Escape should cancel the /add-dir operation and close the dialog, returning to the normal chat state.
