There is another (more actual?) thread about this subject:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25149 Click-Draggable and Esc-Dismissable Map

I know it's an old thread but there's nothing wrong with Necroing the TOP RESULT on google for this problem. Why keep creating new threads when you can keep all the info in one place that google is already telling you is the answer to your question.

Sorry, /rant.

+1 for this. maybe it comes from WoW but I constantly hit esc to get back to the default ui. I'm used to having it so only once all panels on the ui are closed does the 'esc menu' appear.

Edit: I've just noticed the character menu has the desired behaviour. if you press esc while the character screen is up it closes it and doesn't open the esc menu. the menu opens if you press esc again (without any panels on the UI)

I've never played WoW, but I also keep hitting escape go get out of the map view; it's a pretty common thing. I usually end up hitting escape about five times before I remember to hit 'M'; it works better when games work with muscle-memory rather than against it.

I'm not sure in which version, but this has now been implemented. Hurrah! =).

Implemented in 0.13.0. Pressing E will also close the map.
