It would be really nice if I could define Esc as a key binding for exiting Geany, if it's pressed in the main window. Is there a way to do that? (I tried Keybindings, but pressing Esc closes the dialog that records the shortcut).

As @elextr pointed out, Escape is unfortunately handled specially by GTK to close the dialog -- which is nice 99% of the time until you want to select Escape as a keybinding. But you can manually edit the keybinding without the fancy dialog by first selecting the row and then clicking again on the Shortcut column (no double click as it would pop up the dialog): it should enter text editing mode on the shortcut, and there you can manually write Escape. Validated with Return and save the preferences, and you should have Quit bound to Escape
