I have a JDialog that responds to an ESC key regardless of which component 
has the focus. This is what I want.

However, it seems that the esc key is not consumed, because upon disposing 
of this dialog, when I open another, it immediately acts as if ESC has been 
pressed.

I assume that the ESC key is not being consumed. Here's what I'm doing. 
Blank lines inserted for clarity. Here I show using WHEN_FOCUSED, 
WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT, and WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW all at once, 
but I've of course tried them individually. I think 
WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT is the appropriate one to use, but that 
didn't seem to be firing. It's late at night and I just did all three for 
the heck of it. One of them is working and the EscKeyPressed method is 
being called. That much works.

KeyStroke esc = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, false);

DialogMainPanel.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(esc, "ESCAPE");

DialogMainPanel.getInputMap
(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(esc, "ESCAPE");

DialogMainPanel.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(esc, 
"ESCAPE");

DialogMainPanel.getActionMap().put("ESCAPE", new EscKeyPressed());
