ESC isn't a control code like CTRL or SHIFT or ALT - so holding it while you press another key is weird, to me.

But pressing and releasing ESC and then pressing and releasing period works excellently. Thank you.

Ahh nice, yeah, that works, I always just assumed I needed to hit ESC first, but didn't know they didn't need to be held at the same time
