No Escape key in the modifier list

I'd like to remap the escape key but I can't find it in the Modifier menu. I have the latest macbook pro with no touch bar.

Probably not as Apple's Force Quit keyboard shortcut uses ESC, and it is also used to dismiss the onscreen ScreenShot panel (e.g. shift+cmd+5).
