Esc

If the the text is selected and the Esc key is pressed, it clears the selection. However, if no text is selected, the Esc key clears the text from the input area.

In addition, the Esc key closes the regular forms and hides the option forms, which are displayed by pressing the F3 key, when the focus is on them. In case of option form, the Esc key only hides the form when pressed once and does not cancel the command. However, if the Esc key is pressed twice, the first press hides the form and the second press cancels the command.
