Setup

You might need ESC-key, when testing not-polished versions of ported games.

This is (one) safety and temporarily way:

run 

xkbcomp :0

-> it creates file named: server-0.xkb

For some reason, you must remove these rows 

interpret AccessX_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
     action= LockControls(controls=);
};
interpret MouseKeys_Accel_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
     action= LockControls(controls=);
};

Then add (example) this row: 

   key <BKSP> {
       type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
       symbols[Group1]= [       BackSpace,          Escape,       BackSpace,          Delete ]
   };

And finally run 

xkbcomp server-0.xkb :0

And then shift+backspace=ESC until next boot (or you can run setxkbmap to reset)
