Wondering whether we can come to a decision on this one..
I don't like much Esc for stop, but if that's FFs default, it may be better than another (as the Ctrl-x clash you spot). Afterall this is what configurable keybindings is suppossed to solve so Esc is OK for me as default.

The other one I can think of as mnemonic is <ctrl>x. What do people think?
That clashes with "Cut". Select some text in the URL window and <ctrl>+x will delete it. I think it's not a good idea to grab something that (a) already has a conventional action, and (b) already performs that conventional action in the GUI.
And while we're talking about conventional use: Dillo is highly unconventional when it uses <ctrl>+q to close a tab. Everyone else[1] uses <ctrl>+w to close a tab (<ctrl>+<shift>+q to close a window) and <ctrl>+q to quit. Which can be annoying when switching between the two.
Firefox uses Escape to stop, and arora[2] uses <ctrl>+. .

[1] ie. Firefox :-) [2] http://code.google.com/p/arora/ - WebKit+Qt-based browser. It looks very nice and may supplant Firefox as "the browser to fall back to when Dillo can't handle the page".
