ESC key exiting full screen mode

Please remove this behavior. It's not a logical behavior within macOS.

You can solve most of the problems by using this tip: https://superuser.com/questions/315949/dont-exit-full-screen-when-pressing-escape-in-apps-like-safari-on-lion

It is basically about installing a userscript (using TamperMonkey or something similar) which intercepts the escape key press.

I have installed this script and it works for most pages. With the exception of previewing attachments in Gmail:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Keep Full Screen
// @namespace     http://superuser.com/q/315949
// @description    Prevents Escape key from leaving full screen.
// @include      *
// ==/UserScript==
document.onkeydown = function (evt) {
    if (evt.keyCode == 27) {
        evt.preventDefault();
        console.log('There is no escape');
    }
};
