How to abort compilation in TeXstudio?

Question

I'm using TeXstudio to compile my LaTeX code. However, for some reason in my code, the compilation will be immersed in a endless loop. Hence, when I fix the problems in my code (or may be not) and need to recompile it, I have to kill the engine first. What's more annoying, if the problem that causes the never-ending loop remains, I have to kill the process in terminal window again and again and again.

Is there any way to abort compilation in TeXstudio?

@Ch'enMeng Thank you for your comment. I'm using Linux. Why? — Tachibana Kanade, Dec 06 '13 at 07:59
Since I was a TeXstudio user under Linux and Windows, I know how to abort the compilation in TeXstudio---by pressing Esc, however, I'm not sure if this will work under MacOS. Try it. :) — Ch'en Meng, Dec 06 '13 at 08:02
Since 2.7 release there is an icon on menu with this feature (red color during compilation). — jotagah, Apr 06 '14 at 11:53

Is there a method to unbind the Esc key from canceling the compilation? During compilation I often want to close some dialog and reflexively hit Esc, aborting the compilation. – n4pK Mar 04 '20 at 14:18
