How can i force escaping out of all games please?

Ive seen a few old posts on this without replies...

I need to escape from windows games and some other emulators and roms which can get locked for no apparent reason.

Maybe a script but I have never done script so would need a little help with that.

Thank you :)

Most emulators exit with the Escape key, this is what Launchbox sends when you set a exit combo in the controller mappings section of Launchbox/Bigbox. As for Windows games you never want to exit like that, there is a reason consoles and PC games tell you not to turn them off when they are saving or loading data, you risk corruption, just exit via the games own menu.
