## Basic Example

Use `EscapeHandler` when a visible surface should close from Escape or Back interactions.

```kotlin
var visible by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

if (visible) {
    EscapeHandler {
        visible = false
    }
}
```

## Usage

`EscapeHandler` is useful for dismissible surfaces such as dialogs, modals, menus, and custom overlays.
