Generate Esc from Apple Keyboard II
Posted by: Crutch on 2020-11-29 08:28:50
Anyone know of an easy way to make an ADB Apple Keyboard II (which has no Escape key) to act as if I pressed Escape?  I like the convenience of it acting as a shortcut for the Cancel key in a lot of dialog boxes under later flavors of System 7.

I swear there must be an Extension or something to do this, but I can’t find it.

Does CTRL-[ work? I have used this on keyboard without Esc in the past (not on a Mac though...)

Wow, it sure does.  Genius.  Thank you!
