a key on the keyboard used to exit a mode. This can apply to moving upwards through a hierarchy of screens or stopping the execution of a program. Also used to break out of a command mode (where typing issues commands to the software) and back into an editing mode (where typing indicates that letters should be inserted at the insertion point).
