Use These Mac Shortcuts Instead of the Esc Key
by Nick Douglas from Lifehacker on (#3WJP4)
Here's a dumb shortcut that will come in handy some day. In some apps, a-. does the same thing as the escape key. So if that key is broken, or your stupid Touch Bar is hiding your stupid virtual escape key, or your hands can't reach the corner of your keyboard, or you just like the ergonomics better, then go for it.
