I saw the subject and thought 'aha, now if I had one of those ...' ...
would that be the 'any other key' which people start to look for after
failing to find the 'any key'?

'Cortana, how can I escape?'

Nope, the Escape key is here to stay.
Lots of things use it, often to "escape".

I once got a joke gift of keycaps with silly labels.

I kept the one labeled "beer".
It's stuck on my keyboard right between "escape" and "F1" keys.
Plenty of room for another key.

I've not had any reason to use the later.
