Or, most of the time, this also DTRT and is faster to type:

,----[ C-h k ESC ESC ESC ]
| ESC ESC ESC runs the command keyboard-escape-quit, which is an interactive
| compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
| 
| It is bound to M-ESC ESC.
| 
| (keyboard-escape-quit)
| 
| Exit the current "mode" (in a generalized sense of the word).
| This command can exit an interactive command such as `query-replace',
| can clear out a prefix argument or a region,
| can get out of the minibuffer or other recursive edit,
| cancel the use of the current buffer (for special-purpose buffers),
| or go back to just one window (by deleting all but the selected window).
