Code: Select all

{
    "description": "Map Esc to Command-W",
    "manipulators": [
        {
            "from": {
                "key_code": "escape",
                "modifiers": {
                    "optional": [
                        "any"
                    ]
                }
            },
            "to": [
                {
                    "key_code": "w",
                    "modifiers": [
                        "left_command"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "type": "basic"
        }
    ]
}

6. Save the changes.

This will globally remap the Escape key to perform the Command-W action. Be aware that this modification will apply globally, affecting all applications.

This looks like a Mac application, no?
You can also program the ANY key in system prefs to do this, with the benefit that it only applies to Reason if you don't want it to apply globally.
That said, do you know how this differs from Keyboard Maestro, functionally speaking?
If only there was a command to OPEN the selected plugin window then you could have a single button for both open and close… ;(
