Skype for Business – Disable “ESC” Keyboard Shortcut

keyboard shortcutslyncskypeskype-for-business

Someone asked this question already but regarding CTRL+ENTER shortcut or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTERer (post Disable control+enter when typing a message in Lync). This is a follow up on that question.

In Skype for Business (was: lync), is it possible to stop the ESC key from closing a conversation or a tab in the conversation?

I assume there is a similar method as shown in the linked question, but I don't have the key value to use for ESC. Does anyone have it?

I could not find the value for ESC key to put in the DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes, too. I think that the method of using following AutoHotKey serves as a reference.

The script code:
