I have always appreciated applications that are designed so that windows (parent and/or child) can be closed with the Esc key. But most applications do not do this, even when it is sensible and possible.

So, this request is to have a feature that allows one to have a WM_CLOSE issued upon pressing the Esc key.

As a sub-feature to this, perhaps an additional option to confirm the window closure (e.g. "Are you sure you want to close this window?").

Thank you for reading.

If you implement this feature it will be useful for me when I use for Internet Explorer downloads. I need to use prevent close download. Currently I use rule for preventing close download when I press Close button but when I press accidentaly ESC or "Cancel" download will be stopped. Maybe you can add feature to prevent closing window if you press accidentaly "Cancel" and ESC.

This will be a handy feature, but MUST be optional as a lot of users including myself use the ESC key in IE to stop pages from loading large graphics, and certainly don't want the window to close instead.
