Yeah I guess it can be a bit annoying, but also a useful shortcut key to close a conversation... better keyboard skills should solve the issue though...

I think there's a script that already does that... am I mistaken?

ESC message saver
ignore my ealier comment

this script saves any text you were writting when you accidently press esc, the unfinished message will re-appear next time you open that specific chat window.

Perhaps you are interested in reading Request - Escape key script; especially matty's reply to Request - Escape key script seems interesting. Attached to his post is a script that changes the functionality of the Escape key in a conversation window so the key does no longer close the window, but simply removes the already typed text.
