Pressing Escape while editing a message now cancels the edit and restores the original message. Also removed onBlur save behavior to prevent accidental saves when focus is lost.

Problem
I was frequently frustrated while editing messages I had sent to Copilot.
When looking up information in my notes, I would accidentally click outside the message being edited, which would cause it to lose focus and automatically save/send the half-modified message to Copilot. This generated unnecessary AI responses and disrupted my workflow. This happened multiple times and made message editing feel unreliable.
Solution
Implemented a better message editing flow:
This provides explicit user control over when edits are saved or cancelled, preventing accidental message submissions.
Changes
Testing
Tested in real conditions within my Obsidian vault.
