I think alt-esc might be better, for consistency.  It's also entirely
consistent with your description above.  Personally, I usually think of
"cut" as a strengthened, more dangerous form of copy.  Similarly, alt-esc
(close this window) is a strengthened, more dangerous form of Esc, which
typically means something like "request politely to leave current action".
