I added it early november (http://www.krita.org/component/content/article/9-
krita-updates/16-spray-favorites-formats). I choose Esc because that's the 
only key available on my tablet pc :-)

Not sure yet, I currently am in the middle of a big refactoring so I haven't 
been able to test. 

I guess a global shortcut will override the keys seens by a tool, if not I can 
code around it. I was thinking of trying to make Esc hide/show dockers and 
toolbar when the active layer is a raster layer, and to make it activate the 
default tool when it is a vector layer, but I'm not sure how to work that.
