Escaping multiple cursors in the new editor

Features
1

When multiple cursors are created (by holding Alt then dragging up or ideally down) in the legacy editor, pressing the Esc key preserves only the topmost cursor.

I find myself missing that feature almost every time I use multiple cursors in the new editor. Can this feature be enabled within CodeMirror 6? If not, could a simple plugin (ideally with a customizable keyboard shortcut) emulate the feature?

Interestingly, this seems to work in the web app (which also uses CodeMirror 6), but not in the desktop app.
