 When using Tracker with keyboard only, once an entry is selected it's not
 possible to clear the selection, i.e. select nothing, which however can be
 done with the mouse by clicking on an empty area.

 Having nothing selected is helpful when launching Textsearch [CMD-OPT-G]
 for a folder search. At the moment this is not possible (once something
 was selected).

 I propose to dedicate the ESC key to "selection clearing".
