In this case Lightbar/Grid doesn't use the ESCAPE hotkey as Grid menus use command jumps based on certain keys and ESCAPE is one of them.  These are defined in the "GRID MENU JUMPS" section when editing a menu command.

Within a grid menu if you wanted to have ESCAPE jump to a menu when escape is pressed on menu command #1, then you would edit menu command #1, set the Grid escape jump to itself (01) and then in the "Action List" section you would create a menu command that executes only when ESCAPE is placed:

    Command: GO
       Data: main
 Grid Event: Escape

This means whenever escape is pressed when menu command #1 is highlighted, it will jump to the main menu.

Grid menus are meant to give you a ton of control but they are a little more complex/confusing to use.
