Close window while in alt tab

In windows 7, when you press alt tab you get a list of windows and can cycle through them effectively. Is there a way to close the window you are currently on instead of actually going to that window and pressing the "x" or alt f4.


Solution 1:

  1. Open the persistent Alt+Tab menu with Ctrl+Alt+Tab.
  2. Select the window with arrow keys or tab keys (, , , , Tab, Shift+Tab).
  3. Close the selected window with Ctrl+w. This will work even for applications that do not natively support Ctrl+W.

Press Esc to exit the Alt+Tab menu.

Solution 2:

Alt+tab to the window you need to close. Holding alt press "Enter", it will focus selected window, then press F4 on the same alt. The most programs support "Alt+F4" as a way for quiting them. Don't release alt and you'll can keep on alt+tabbing.

So, MacOS can command+(tab→q→tab→q→tab→q...)

In Win7 alt+(tab→enter→f4→tab→enter→f4→tab→enter→f4→...) works fine for me.

And don't forget, you can use arrows to navigate through alttab context menu.
