So do Escape and ^[. C-g, unfortunately, is also used by mutt,
which doesn't recognize <Esc> at all. C-d means EOF. It's always
meant EOF and I've never known it to mean delete-char, although
I'm aware that in emacs it does.

If you think your management doesn't know what it's doing or that your
organisation turns out low-quality software crap that embarrasses you,
then leave.
