I have no use for ESC as a prefix key, I don't use Emacs on terminal and
ESC ESC ESC never worked for me when emacs was hung, so I
want to use ESC for what C-g does.

I googled it and found this:

(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "ESC") (kbd "C-g"))

It seems to work, but I'm curious: is this the best way to do it?
