I agree with Or that ESC should STOP/TERMINATE/INTERRUPT whatever is
happening. (You want to ESCape from whatever is happening.) I use ESC to
stop loading a page that is not the page that I expected or that is taking
too long to download. I also use ESC to exit. Unfortunately, sometimes when
I want to terminate a download, Arachne exits when I hit ESC. <ALT-x> is a
convenient key combination to exit as it only requires two fingers on one
hand, but, ESC only requires one finger (or a nose).
Alternately, the old default for getting a computer's attention, <CTRL-C>,
should also be a way to stop the operation.

As long as I can turn on the additional Exit funtion for ESC, that
my vote.<<
