And it forking happened again! Thought I'd at least try and participate in the CG. So, got me some more Cmdr Soylents, got myself to about the same place I was yesterday and then decided to activate the external camera to look around. Next thing I know, there goes my cargo again! [Mutters under breath] Only thing that saved some of my cargo was "combat" logging. Turns out that one of my camera mode buttons combinations was similar to another eject cargo combination. :/ Needless to say, that got quickly fixed. Of course, just before I lost my cargo, I discover the CG has ended, but what a waist of a session! The Space-Gods clearly hate me!

Op you could use the functions menu and power down the cargo hatch. If I remember correctly this also foils hatch breaker limpets.
If that works the same way the "emergency stop" button does, it probably isn't going to be much use.
I couldn't count the amount of times I've seen the "too fast for normal cruise. Press twice for emergency stop" message WHILE the SC dropout animation is happening.
At first I thought, maybe, I was accidentally pressing the "exit SC" button twice or something but, after a bit of deliberate experimentation, it seems that it just flat-out doesn't need the double-press to do an "emergency stop" at all. [where is it]
Most common scenario is that I'll be landed on the surface of a planet, I'll take off, realise that my destination is obscured by the planet, jump to SC to leave orbit, get to a point where I can see my destination and then I'll have a brain-fart and hit the SC button again and I'll immediately do an "emergency stop".
But, erm, yep.
Don't even think I have keys assigned to any of the "drop cargo" functions.
If I want to do it, I can do it from the right HUD.
And it's not easy to do that accidentally.
*EDIT*
Are we sure the OP isn't carrying anything corrosive and his problems are the result of corrosive damage to the cargo hatch?
He seems to be having this problem a helluva lot.

O MY GOD THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED BUT IT'S SO MUCH BETTER!!! XD XD XD
I feel sincerely sorry for you OP, I truly do, but that's hilarious! XD XD
Okay, okay, I've calmed down now! haha!
I thought reading the title that this would be in regards to the "launch" button on pads. I often find myself accidentally clicking it, or clicking it then deciding I want to check/do something before I leave. If I click "enter hangar" I still have full control over my menus, but if I hit "launch" from within the hangar I have to be force to watch the animation? Why?... And why can't I cancel the action during that time, the game could just override the "launch" command with a "return to surface" command mid-animation surely?
Although for different reasons, I support your idea for a "nevermind" button.

Don't even have the jettison function mapped, on the very rare occasions when I do have to get rid of cargo I go through the inventory menu on the RH panel - can't make a mistake there
Gonna have to seriously disagree with that last statement - I can make a mistake in any user interface!

Yep. I'm 100% it had nothing to do with corrosive cargo. The first incident was me accidentally hitting the [End] key. Voice Attack wasn't working and I had to rely on good ol' fashioned keyboard presses. The next two incidents were caused by the fact that I had, apparently, a combo press on my joystick that was mapped closely to my camera view controls. So, when I went into external mode, I ejected my cargo instead of going into free-look. All of which has been corrected, including getting VA working again...
Actually, I phrased it the way I did because I was thinking of more than just a "Cancel Eject" button. I know we can cancel the Frame-shift, as well as, other actions, but, yes, there are a few that, for whatever reason, we can't. It'd be nice if they were all covered.
We can dream...
I wouldn't mind this being a "press twice" thingie - not that I ahve it bound but it would save grief for some people.
The "cancel" button I'd really like to have is on ship launching - the number of times the animation has started and I have realised I didn't buy something (or similar) - I'd love to have been able to abort the launch rather than leave and dock again.

Yes, please!
Deleted that keybind myself. I don' jettison anything for anyone. Not for pirates, not for Thargoids.
My cargo is my cargo until it is paid for, then it's someone else's problem.
The one thing I would LOVE to be able to cancel is a Ship Dismiss. Talk about annoying... I've lost track of how many times I've accidentally dismissed my ship after getting in a really good landing spot at the Alien Ruins, only to have to drive 2 Km away from them since they're now considered Settlements and you can't recall within them.
