$FMHOME\fminit\configui\cmds.cfg

How is pretty straightforward -- edit the KeySequence. The ! represents the Escape key. Here are the relevant entries from the FM10 cmds.cfg file: 

<Command ViewPublisherBoundaries
   <Label Publisher Boundaries>
   <KeySequence \!vl>
   <Definition \x3D7>
   <Mode All>>
…

<Command ViewMasterPages
   <Label Master Pages>
   <KeySequence \!vM>
   <Definition \x343>
   <Mode All>>

HTH!
