Except to cancel pop-ups for code completion, etc., [Esc] isn't used much. 
Wouldn't it be useful (to the powerusers) to be able to quickly move outwards
from inner nested blocks to outer blocks?

If you are in a string, [Esc] jumps the cursor to just outside of the closing
quote.  If you are inside parens, [Esc] jumps you just beyond the closing paren.
 If you are in a statement, [Esc] jumps you to the end of the statement.  If you
are in a block, [Esc] moves the cursor just beyond the closing curly brace, etc.
