How about non-US keyboard layouts? [ alone is altgr-8 on german layout.

I wondered about that in the other thread. But it actually works with Ctrl+Ä or Ctrl-Ü (depending whether you are in OSX or Windows) in the console.

However this still does not help for a missing ESC in other applications (like IDEs where you sometimes want to close an annoying intellisense dialog).
