so, Esc inside a *dialog* does work like this.

I don't necessarily agree that Esc should should navigate back in a subpage.

I get that the visual/spatial representation may be lost/not matter to all users.

reducing priority because using Alt+left for back (or any other physical or assigned key or device) is a decent alternative.

chaok@: do you have a pointer to the GAR rule that advocates for Esc as a synonym to back?  browsers have traditionally not done this, as far as I know.
