  In order to be properly portable, and perhaps to work at all on X11, it has 
to be a modifier key.  ESC is not a modifier key.  QMouseEvent only contains 
the following:

Qt::ShiftButton - a Shift key on the keyboard is also pressed. 
Qt::ControlButton - a Ctrl key on the keyboard is also pressed. 
Qt::AltButton - an Alt key on the keyboard is also pressed. 
Qt::MetaButton - a Meta key on the keyboard is also pressed. 
Qt::Keypad - a keypad button is pressed.

   Holding ESC will just generate a sequence of keys based on the repeat rate 
of the keyboard anyway, I think.
