Hi Experts,

I got a problem with my PC, only escape key is not working. Would like to know if there is any alternative we can make use of :confused: If anybody has brilliant tweak or combination of keys that can amulate escape key.
Well Please be kind enough I know onscreen keyboard.. other than this anything else is highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance :)

You can try a key-mapping program, such as SharpKeys (http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=10963) to reassign the Esc key to some other key. The beauty of this program is that it doesn't load a driver or anything, just makes a registry change.

Best of luck,
Wally H.

You can buy a new keyboard for virtually nothing these days, I would just replace it!

Take a look at these sites -- Hope this helps

If I'm not mistaken this only works in the vim editor. (Which rocks, BTW!)

Hold down [alt] and press [F4] it shuts down the window just like closing it

I have tried the vim alternative, which surprisingly works else where too.

Its Ctrl + [

But currently I am using ubuntu.Didn't try it on Windows, but should work, I guess. And this seems to work on websites too, like on Facebook when you are viewing a pic, using can press this combination, and it works.

This is a great Idea
