What

Change the keypresses that activate the EtP button from the esc key 3 times in a given timeframe to shift 3 times.

As part of this, investigate ways to "clear" the press 3 times only when shift is intentionally pressed 3 times in a row, not accidentally eg: if using it in tandem with a letter key to capitalise a word/letters.

Why

This is a decision based on the outcomes of our spikes. See alphagov/govuk-design-system#2402 for more details.
