There is no way to directly turn off the ESC key function in JavaScript. However, you can prevent specific actions from happening when the ESC key is pressed using event listeners and the preventDefault() method. For example, if you want to prevent an alert box from appearing when the ESC key is pressed, you could add the following code:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  if (event.key === 'Escape') {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

This code listens for a keydown event on the document and checks if the key pressed is the Escape key. If it is, the preventDefault() method is called, which stops the default action (in this case, showing an alert box) from occurring.
