 Well, it looks like you have to reload all textures again afterall.
 Anyway, since you know the buttons code better than anyone else, maybe you 
could add that button and then call an empty function. Then, somebody else 
would write the necessary code for the function.

 Pressing Esc to open/close a menu or quit is something that anyone is 
confortable with, but not really to go back to the previous menu.
 Besides, the target of the game should be ordinary ppl with no to little 
computer knowledge, and believe me when I say that an ordinary person doesn't 
know the keyboard layout that well.
 Especially, since, at least in Portugal, English key names are not translated 
- including the Esc key. You might argue that they have to know English to 
play the game, but believe me that it is much easier to understand a full 
text than a short text for something, Esc -> Escape.

Cheers,
