Escape Key for deselection

Simple improvement request:

When making selections, allow the usage of the 'Esc' to deselect all. As far as I know, the only way to do it now is to click in dead space, which isn't always practical.

    The hotkey for deselecting all entities is spacebar. I agree that it's not intuitive, but there's not too many hotkeys that work across all major browsers and don't interfere with existing hotkeys. 

    Hope this helps!

    I have made the button on my space mouse that is reserved for ESC bound to a hot key that is both ESC and SPACE using the macro function so that like most programs I have used it deselects whatever I am interacting with.
