Please don't open console with "ESC"!
If you're typing sql or anything else completion from browser, or by codemirror is canceled by ESC, which opens/cloeses the console everytime!
the most flexible way, is to make this configurable, not to meet any other extensions & their shortcuts.
Maybe you can choose F1 - I don't think anybody really want's help of the browser while issuing sql-statements. But others might think the same way.
Another option can be "Ctrl - C" (C = console)

After discussion on phpmyadmin-devel, we should remove this ESC behavior but would like a suggestion for another shortcut key.

Ctrl - C can't be used. Copy!
F1 is a good option.
After reading a comment from William Brendel here:

I'm not so sure about F1.
To avoid conflicting with other browser functionalities we probably will have to go for a 3 key short cut.
I propose Ctrl+Alt+C
It would be nice if we also make it configurable.
Nisarg,
for configurability, please open a feature request. This will have to wait until version 4.4.
Feature request 1563 suggests the same.
