Regarding the IDE “Check for updates” - could you please add a cancel button or esc-handler that aborts the request, or some way to background the check.
I frequently travel by train and use 3G mobile network in Europe. If I start a check for update in the train (yeah I know, bad idea) - and I go through an area with bad reception - then Idea is completely blocked while checking for updates. There is no way to cancel the request. The only two options are to either wait for it to complete - or to kill the process.
So, any way to cancel or background the update check will be much appreciated on my account

A bit more info about IDEA being blocked. If there is no signal I quickly get a connect timed out error. However once the connection is established IDEA is blocked till the check completes - this is where I would like to have the option of aborting/backgrounding the update check so I can keep working.
