ESC Key blurs inputs

When I'm focused on an input, pressing the ESC key will blur that input. That's fine on a normal page, but there are a number of web sites I use which provide VIM-like keybindings in textareas.

codepen.io repl.it qualified.io

on those sites, I'm likely to press ESC hundreds of times, and I don't want that key to blur focus.

Can I disable this behaviour in Firefox?
