I would like to be able to "pin" open the weekly task list from within the Today view so that I don't accidentally close it when hitting "escape"

I like having my weekly tasks list persistently visible in the Today view because I often will find myself having cleared out my planned tasks for the day and ready to pick something else up from the tasks planned for the week.

However, "escape" closes that expander, and I hit escape a lot. It would be really nice to be able to "pin" that list so hitting "escape" doesn't close it!
