Comment (by Hareesh Pillai):

 Replying to [comment:2 afercia]:
 > I'd rather change all of them to "Escape" as that's the name of the key.
 "Esc" is an abbreviation, much like "Ctrl" for "Control".

 While I agree that "Escape" is the actual name of the key, should we not
 use the convention that is present on the standard keyboard layout so that
 it is less confusing to the users?

 Correct me if my understanding is wrong - When we say, press the "Control"
 key, users might find it difficult to understand as there is no "Control"
 key present on their keyboard. Using words like Esc and Ctrl in our
 communication is better, I think.
