In depth
A closer look at Esc Close
Esc Close is designed to re-allocate the 'close' function to the 'ESC' key on your keyboard, enabling you to use it to close a window or a browser tab. In recent versions of Windows, the ESC key is usually assigned to functions related to interrupting or cancelling an on-going process. Also, it can play the role of a shortcut for choosing a negative answer in dialog boxes, such as 'quit', 'exit', 'abort' or 'cancel'. However, most applications do not close if you press the ESC key, as there is another combination designated for this purpose, namely ALT-F4, which some users find quite uncomfortable to press. Esc Close is a small utility that can appoint this task to the ESC key, making it much easier to close a window or a tab in any program you are running.
