Using ESC or ESCAPE, CONTROL or CTRL in your Cycle Steps
Many Cycle steps involve key presses, often times to employ hotkeys or key combinations. When using these should I use the common abbreviation (printed on the key) for a key "ESC", "CTRL" or the full word "ESCAPE", "CONTROL"?
As of Cycle version 2.5.0, either option will work, so feel free to use the efficient or the descriptive!
