Simulating an ESC button hit with powershell

Question

I read that it was not there before,

but is there any solution to simulate an "ESC" key pressing from a powershell script?

Same as when a human would press the ESC key on the keyboard.

Check out these 2 resources:

But in a Nutshell:

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.AppActivate('title of the application window')
Sleep 1
$wshell.SendKeys("{ESC}")
