I'd like to be able to add new comments on a task or item without leaving the Inbox, reducing clicks.

The workflow desired:

See message in inbox -> click message -> Click an empty text field to respond (not reply to an existing comment) -> Press escape to go back to inbox

Current workflow:

See message in inbox -> click message -> Click item name -> Click empty text field on the right to comment (under Activity) -> Click Inbox (pressing escape does not return me to inbox)

See image for where the new comment box might fit.
