What does Esc stand for in computing and programming?

Esc stands for Escape in computing and programming. The Escape key is a special key on computer keyboards that is used to interrupt or cancel an operation, to exit full-screen mode, and to access command line interfaces.

How is the Esc key used in programming and software development?

In programming and software development, the Esc key is used as a shortcut for cancelling or stopping a process, especially in command line interfaces. For example, if a command is taking too long to complete, the user can press the Esc key to stop the command and return to the prompt. Additionally, the Esc key is often used to exit full-screen mode in applications and to close dialog boxes or pop-up windows.

Where is the Esc key typically located on a computer keyboard?
