  // Since commit d474017 jquery-textComplete automatically closes a potential
  // opened dropdown menu when the user press Escape. This behavior conflicts
  // with our EscapeActions system, but it's too complicated and hacky to
  // monkey-pach textComplete to disable it -- I tried. Instead we listen to
  // 'open' and 'hide' events, and create a ghost escapeAction when the dropdown
  // is opened (and rely on textComplete to execute the actual action).
