Bind of "ESC" for "Lose all my state" is a poor default

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's a really, really poor default keybinding that "Esc" is bound by
default to "kill the emulator without asking and don't save any state at
all". I just lost half an hour of game play because I accidentally hit
Escape to try to quit out of an in-game menu.

Sorry for your lost time, but I look at this as a feature.  If you're in the
fullscreen non-gui mode, it's better to have a fast easy exit key and not have 
to
pound all kinds of key combos to try and find the quit button.  The default 
bindings
are consistent in that all the N64 controller functions are mapped to joystick
axes/buttons, and the keyboard is only used for special emulator functions.  The
source code at the head of our SVN repository contains a new feature which 
allows
users to re-bind these special emulator keys (which were previously 
hard-coded), so
you may choose any key that you like for the Quit command.

I think the ideal solution would be to have esc just exit fullscreen mode and 
leave
the game running.
