Problem:
Many if not all skins today use a hidden / slide menu for extra functions.
When a user wishes to exit one of these menus they must use up/down/left/right depending on the layout the skin has used. Often it is desirable and logical to be able to close a menu using the ESC / BACK button. All the dialog style menus work this way but hidden / slide menus do not as ESC is not usable by the skin designer.
Proposal:
Add a skin control <onEsc> that is functionally equivalent to <onLeft> <onRight> <onUp> <onDown>.
This can be optionally added to controls by the skin designer without changing or breaking current functionality.
Control Example:
<control>
<description>Menu button</description>
<type>button</type>
<id>2</id>
<onEsc>50</onEsc>
<onLeft>50</onLeft>
<onRight>50</onRight>
<onUp>1</onUp>
<onDown>3</onDown>
</control>
