Using Escape has some limitations:
- it stops the browser from loading pages
- Escaping performs other functions in the operating system
- Pressing Escape isn’t considered a user interaction:
And Esc is the only keyboard key that doesn’t count as user interaction for the purposes of transient activation.
Why other alternative keys (^ Ctrl, ⎇ Alt, ⌥ Option, ) are not better, because they have tradeoffs.
⇧ Shift is also better. It has also limitations though.

Every problem at every company I’ve ever worked at eventually boils down to “please dear god can we just hire people who know how to write HTML and CSS.”
This UX is awful? That UI looks old? Accessibility busted? Performance bad? Design team can’t ship stuff? Customers annoyed by tons of bugs? Everything takes too long to build? No time for small usability improvements?
Hire. HTML. And. CSS. People.
