It's also a standard "cancel" for Macs. If you feel more comfortable
with it [after years of practice. . .], you can remap Lynx's keybinbings:
On a Windows machine, do you get a "pseudo-character" when you
type Esc into some text documents? Does Lynx return some kind
of error message with ^Trace ON when you hit Escape? If you can
find some character or hex-escaped entity to represent the Esc
key, you can remap the INTERRUPT comand in lynx.cfg ["z" will
still work, but Esc will also, I think]. On a Mac, it's "" or
"0x1B", but that doesn't help you much, except as an example.
Check out this archived thread if you're interested:

Anyway, if you can figure out how to do the same thing on a PC,
others might benefit, so share and enjoy. :-)

Maybe that's why MacLynx does that! Thanks. It borrows source
from various ports, including Win32, maybe to better cope with
another GUI-based OS, and/or to add basic mouse support [clickable
links]. There's a thank-you note in the docs, but not much detail;
thanks for what?
>From the ReadMe:
Development
MacLynx is a Lynx 2.7.1 port, and nearly all of the merit of this
program should go to the University of Kansas and to the LYNX-DEV
group, who developed the original Lynx.
MacLynx uses GUSI socket code by Matthias Neeracher, and parts
of a curses code by Larry Gensch & Robert Zimmerman. Removal
of some Unixisms in MacLynx has been helped by the Wayne Buttles'
port for DOS/Win32.
