Pressing ESC Key: Same Effect As Alt+F4

[GraysonPeddie]

While working in Yoshimi 2.2.0-1 in Arch Linux, I was working on an experimentation that was inspired by the "Castor" soundtrack from TRON Legacy (it's the scene where Sam Flynn had a chat with Zuse) and after I switch back to Yoshimi from MuSE Sequencer, I accidentally hit the ESC key and because I forgot to check which window has focus and I have lost everything I have done so far. Sure, I should have saved my changes frequently, but as the ESC key has the same effect as hitting Alt+F4, I just hit the ESC key accidentally.

Hitting ESC key in Firefox does nothing. Same for MuSE Sequencer and GNOME Terminal. I don't mind having an ESC key to close the window such as ADsynth or Effects panel, but I would like it if the ESC key could be disabled for the main window of Yoshimi. If I want to close Yoshimi, I can make use of Alt+F4 which takes more effort than hitting an ESC key. Plus, the use of Alt+F4 acts as a safeguard requiring two fingers to press the combinations.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever used the the escape key - at least, not for many years. This is an easy fix so will be in the next commit, specifically when the main window has focus.
