You have practically answered your own question.  In QuicKeys,
there is a number of things you can define, one of which is
a SEQUENCE.  Therefore, first define the escape key (as anything,
or even leave undefined), and then use a sequence to first
choose the escape, and then to choose some keystroke.

A sequence of keystrokes can be defined thorought the
"define text" part of QuickKeys.  The control key can be
simulated by the ^, i.e. control-d would be "^d" (without
quotes...)  I'm not sure if you can define ESC through this
part, but if you can, then you wouldn't even need to define
the ESC keystroke.
