I'd have to agree.

if I can throw my two cents in here, why not go with the control key?
its what everyone is used to and will be expecting, for newer players
your introducing a confusing key, as well as making people reach for the
escape key fairly often and moving their hands away from the main keys,
always a bad thing with interfaces.
as far as programming so you recognize the control key up instead of down
is a trivial matter if your keyboard class is set up right, with a proper
setup should be doable in fifteen minutes tops.
you stated something about going back later and fixing it when you get
time, but then folks will have to re learn a part of the interface.
for me, even if it took an hour or better to make the change, I would
stick with the control key and problem solved, both now and in the future.
outside of that, I would go with alt, anything to keep from having to
move a hand from the home row frequently and annoyingly. remember, some
keyboards are laid out in odd ways, and the escape key isn't as easy to
reach and pop as others.
later

Hi Rich,
Its possible, but the capslock key is near the tab key and I can see
myself and others bringing upt the inventory menu by mistake. Plus I'm
not sure, but you might end up enabling capslock, leaving the game,
and start typing with it still on. That could be a whole can of worms
in of itself. I think the escape key is probably the way to go here.
Cheers!

Hi Thom,
I too like the idea of the esc key for silencing speech.
But here is another suggestion. Would it be possible to think about using
the caps lock key to silence speech? Just thinking if it is possible it
might mean less recoding.
