Modify `escape key` to` Esc key`

[tmatsuur]

The notation of Esc key is different in the following two sentences.

1./wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php:5580

$section_description .= '<li id="editor-keyboard-trap-help-4">' . __( 'Screen reader users: when in forms mode, you may need to press the escape key twice.' ) . '</li>';

2./wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-custom-html.php:322

$content .= '<li id="editor-keyboard-trap-help-4">' . __( 'Screen reader users: when in forms mode, you may need to press the Esc key twice.' ) . '</li>';

Shouldn't the sentence 1 be Esc key?

I'd rather change all of them to "Escape" as that's the name of the key. "Esc" is an abbreviation, much like "Ctrl" for "Control".

I think it is important to be consistent within the WordPress.
If "Escape" is a global standard, I think that is fine.

While I agree that "Escape" is the actual name of the key, should we not use the convention that is present on the standard keyboard layout so that it is less confusing to the users?

Correct me if my understanding is wrong - When we say, press the "Control" key, users might find it difficult to understand as there is no "Control" key present on their keyboard. Using words like Esc and Ctrl in our communication is better, I think.
