What does ESC generally mean for graphical user interfaces and windowing systems?
an application to abort its current operation or to exit (terminate) altogether
[ "ASCII\n\nMany more of the control codes have been given meanings quite different from their original ones. The \"escape\" character (ESC, code 27), for example, was intended originally to allow sending other control characters as literals instead of invoking their meaning.
