Alt+F4 kills the process.
- ttyyzz 4y agoguys i dont know why im getting downvoted - on my windows 10 machine, newest discord version -> alt+f4 kills the process and x-ing the app does not.
- CodesInChaos 4y agoAlt+F4 asks the window to close. If it's the main window, this will by default terminate the message loop, shutting down the application. But the application is free to handle the message whatever way it likes. Asking for confirmation, ignoring it, hiding it or closing the window without terminating the process. Like many (most?) applications which show a notification icon, discord hides the main window when the user presses Alt+F4 or clicks on the X instead of closing it.
- simiones 4y agoNope, Alt+F4 is the close window shortcut. This is even visible in the OS-controller Window Menu - hit Alt+Spacebar in any window of any app, and you'll see the Window menu appear, which will include an option for Close (the current window), showing that the shortcut for it is Alt+F4. This is even true for modal dialogs (if they are real Windows modal dialogs).
- phepranto 4y agoWeirdly enough, Alt+Spacebar, then clicking close only closes the window (minimizing to the tray), but just hitting Alt+F4 kills the process.
- simiones 4y agoYou mean for Discord I assume? That is strange indeed - though of course Windows has always allowed apps to modify any kind of behavior they want (for better and for worse).
- tpxl 4y agoNo it doesn't. If I open blender and hit 'Render Image', a new Window will open with the rendered image. This does NOT spawn a new process. Hitting Alt+F4 on this window closes the window. This does NOT kill a process.
