ESC key and browser question

why is the ESC key defined as “back” or “refresh” on my browser? can I define it as such? I am using IE but also have Netscape.

'Cause you’re using the wrong browser. The SDMB is best viewed with the Opera browser. In Opera, the ESC key aborts web page loading.

Browser wars? And I though the platform warriors were lame.

Not in GQ. Knock it off.

correction: the original question should be "why isn’t the ESC key defined as either back or refresh?. isnt isnt isnt isnt
and can I define it as such?
