On 1.32+ you can detect when a button is pressed. This works with the Hotkey as well.

• press ability
  • Events
    • Game - Button for ability Hex and order Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex pressed.
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Variable HexPressed = True

Player presses Escape:

• escape
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
    • HexPressed Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order YourUnit to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex YourUnit
    • Set Variable HexPressed = False

Triggering Player will work in the first trigger but I'm not sure about Triggering Unit.

You'll probably want to detect when the player cancels with right clicks/the actual Cancel ability. You can use Mouse Events for right click detection and I believe there's a way to detect Cancel as well. Maybe through Orders or a specific Event.
