Escape Key Issue

When I hit the Escape Key to cancel out of an action, it also exits me out of Full Screen Mode.

I don't want to exit Full Screen Mode!

It just started happening recently, and it's driving my nuts. I couldn't find anything under "Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts" to turn off the ESC hot key for Full Screen Mode. I've looked everywhere on the web trying to find a solution, so it's probably something real simple.

I'm using Ilustrator CC 2017.1.0 on a MacOS Sierra 10.12.5.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just to clarify a bit: What do you mean by "an action"?

An Illustrator action (see Actions palette) or some kind of general action (e.g. escaping a text object or a modal dialog)?

Kurt,

"Action" probably wasn't a good word.

The main problem was that whenever I was using the "Artboard Tool," and I would hit ESC to cancel out of it, the whole window would exit Full Screen Mode and shrink to about half size. It seem to be working fine now with the fix Mike offered above. Thanks!
