Can Escape be used as a shortcut key for a menu item?

[tired22]

Does anyone know if the escape key can be used as a shortcut key for a menu item? I was wanting to use CTRL + Escape but in the list of modifiers for the shorcut key property it seems that every key is listed except escape.

Ctrl + Escape is already assigned for opening Windows Start menu. You should use a proper key combination.

So it's not possible? I'm just wondering because my boss was wanting that key combination. Me personally, I have no problem using another key combination. I'm just wondering if it's possible, and if so how.

I don't recommend using this key combination. Tell your boss that this key combination is already reserved for Windows.
