[suggestion] use Ctrl+Alt instead of Esc to return pointer back to Android #607

I am not sure whether it can be technically difficult, but it seems Ctrl+Alt is a better shortcuts (than Esc) to release the pointer to Android. As far as I know, common VM software such as virt-manager and wmware adopt this shortcut to release pointer. It is perhaps because Esc is a very common shortcut for many applications, e.g. closing a prompt, while Ctrl+Alt (without pressing any alphabet key) is not commonly used as shortcuts.

Termux:X11 is not related to VM software. Also some Android devices and IMEs do not send modifier key events if no alphabet keys were pressed. In this case Esc key is a better choice.

I well understand that X11 is not a VM software and I would like to talk about only design.

I understand that some device may not be able to use 'Ctrl+Alt`. Would you mind me creating a sub-page called "Unstable feature" and make a pull request?

Or could we use both Ctrl+Alt and Ctrl+Alt+Home? FYR, MS RDP uses Ctrl+Alt+Home and that can serve as fallback for device that could not use Ctrl+Alt.
