Question: I'm using the [colorbox](http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/) plugin for jQuery.

I know I don't have to have a close button, and `overlayClose: false` will prevent the window from being closed by clicking the overlay.

Is there a way to remove the `Esc` key-listener event?

Answer: 
From looking at the source, the escape key is bound to the `keydown.cbox_close` event from line 165:

```
    // Set Navigation Key Bindings
    $(document).bind("keydown.cbox_close", function (e) {
            if (e.keyCode === 27) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    cboxPublic.close();
            }
    ...

```

You could comment out that binding, or use it for some other purpose.
As `overlayClose: false`, for ESC you can make `escKey:false`
