No, it's command-option-escape to force-quit and application.  Command-period 
is the standard way to cancel an operation (and it's certainly easy to 
hit since the keys are very close to each other; control-alt-delete is not 
easy to hit, but in this specific case it's a good thing rather than a bad 
one).
