What do you mean ‘no escape key’?

All the terminals I have used swap out the suggestions bar for a row of extra keys, with escape in the place you would expect it.

I'm referring to the physical Smart/Magic Keyboard for the iPad from Apple, not the onscreen keyboard:

I just learned you can type command-. to send an escape on an iPad keyboard. And also as freehunter mentioned, iPad Settings / General / Keyboard / Hardware Keyboard / Modifier Keys lets you remap caps lock to escape.
