A user looking for info about the "Escape" keyboard key won't find anything using `i' in the Emacs manual. Please consider adding an index entry for "Escape key" or some such, which could take you to node `User Input', for example. Similarly, for the Elisp manual. Consider adding index entries that take you to nodes `Functions for Key Lookup' and `Prefix Keys', the former, in particular. Here's a user question that's relevant, together with his comment "I used to think all along that the escape key was meta key because when I did Escape - x, spacemacs would show M - x. Why is that the case if Escape isn't the meta key?" https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/60645/105 It should be made easy to find info about the relation between the Meta modifier key and the Escape prefix key.
