Please, provide a more in depth explanation of your issue

I want to use CMD-K to bind ESC key (The key on the keyboard at the left-top most) many computer game use it to open settings, so I don't want to have two key board habits.

But now, the ESCape key can only exit from the full screen mode, I can't bind it

Binding escape key should work just as well as other keys from my experience. What version of PlayCover are you using and can you record a video of what you described?

You can use handbrake to compress the video.

As you see, when I pressed ESC, I exited from full screen mode
And I can't bind the ESC even if I was exit full screen

As a temporary workaround, you can export your current keymapping in play cover, open in in a text editor, and change the binding you want to change (in your video it looks you currently have the pain menu set to Z, so you would search for 29) to 41.

basically, from this:

<array>
  <real>29</real>
  <real>0.034245469835069396</real>
  <real>0.053669942579505282</real>
  <real>3.645</real>
</array>

to this:

<array>
  <real>41</real>
  <real>0.034245469835069396</real>
  <real>0.053669942579505282</real>
  <real>3.645</real>
</array>

And then re-import the key-mapping.
