## Escape event

Triggered when the escape key is pressed within an Element.

**Syntax:** `element.on(...)`

- `event` ('escape') **required**
  The name of the event.
In this case, `escape`.

- `handler` (function) **required**
  `handler(event) => void` is a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired.

### Handle an Element escape event

```js
element.on('escape', function(event) {
  // Handle escape event
});
```

```es_next
element.on('escape', (event) => {
  // Handle escape event
});
```
