What happens if the screen is not in 3x4 format? How about virtual
window managers with a logical screen larger than the physical screen?

By my theory the percentages would be applied to the virtual screen resolution.

What happens if there is no ESC key or the ESC key is already bound

You modify the ESC for another key (eg. CAP).  I assume settop devices would have a key specific to this.

Thanks for the thoughts!
