The gov.uk Design System calls this the "Exit a page quickly" pattern [1], with an associated component [2]. It can be activated by clicking the Shift key three times.

There's this nice blog [3] that explains why they chose Shift instead of other keys, and also gives a nice overview of the pattern.
