Just add a ProcessCmdKey to the main Form by testing Keys.Escape and you will see it works
Sending Escape alone on a standard window just does nothing, I don't see why you want to do that..

i'm trying to get an application called streamer.bot to press escape but it doesn't have an option so i need a script.

Sending keys to another application is different
SendKeys needs the application to be in foreground (for example FindWindow + SwitchToThisWindow)
Another method without app in foreground are with UIAutomation
But it depends on what the Escape key must do in this application (I just downloaded it to test but I did not see...)
