In Web browsers -- including Firefox, Epiphany 1.7.2 and later (modulo
bugs), Safari, and Internet Explorer, but not Konqueror -- it is
standard for Escape in the location field to restore the contents of the
field to the URL of the current location. While Nautilus has a location
field, it would probably be a good idea to be consistent with this
convention, rather than using Escape for something else.
