SOLVED: The button to open a pie menu also closes it

The current behavior of the pie menu hotkeys irritates me a bit. If I press "." to open the orientation pie menu pressing "." again does nothing, I would expect it to close the pie menu. Instead I have to press ESC or right click to cancel the pie menu. It would be a smoother experience if the button to activate the pie menu would also close it, as you don't have to move your finger anywhere else then. PieMenu.JPG

You have 4 options: just release PIE hotkey inside threshold radius after hold (not fast press+release) to cancel, click LMB inside threshold radius to cancel, click RMP anywhere to cancel, press ESC to cancel. Is it not enoug?

What you propose may conflict with hotkey autoassignment system (those underlined characters, same system work for ordinar menus as well). On GIF I pressed A to call Selection PIE > pressing A again activate item 8 Select A̲ll Toggle.

Rework whole autoassignment system to not cause conflicts because you don't want to use existing PIE cancel option.... Really?
