Escape key behaves like Enter in interactive mode

[qadzek]

Describe the bug

Thank you for this wonderful tool.

When I run a command that allows me to make a selection interactively (e.g. nr) and I change my mind, I hit the Escape key, expecting to return to the command line. However, instead of returning, the selected script is executed, just as if I had hit Enter.

The only difference between hitting Enter and Escape is that in the former case ✔ script to run › test is displayed, while in the latter ✖ script to run › test appears. In both cases the script is run.

I think this is probably related 👀 terkelg/prompts#369

I think so, but theprompts seems to be almost non-maintainable, there are about three solutions:

1. Listen for the 'escape' event and exit the process (which may cause other interaction problems, not recommended)
2. Fork the prompt repo and fix this issue
3. Switch to a command-line interactive library (such as Inquirer)

If there is a feasible solution, I think I can work for it. @antfu
