Closing a terminal window on Windows 10 with a keystroke
He who is Stefan Ram said on 12 Nov 2017 06:30:37 GMT:
Do you know what keyboard keystroke closes a terminal window in Windows 10? Are you referring to the good old HyperTerminal Client ("HYPERTRM.EXE") or to a console window? Anyway, [Alt]-[Space] should open the window menu (untested), and then [C] should close the window (untested). "Alt + Shift and then c" worked perfectly! The problem I had was a bunch of command-line windows is opened up by an application, where I wanted to close all but one of those windows. The "Alt + Shift and then c" works fine, with the only caveat that you can't just keep your fingers on the Alt + Shift and then press c, c, c, c, c, c, c, etc, to close each window. You have to lift up all three fingers, and then press Alt + Shift and then c each time. That's the answer to the question. Thanks! |

It will close an application, when the focus is set to an application window. If the focus is the desktop background, it causes the OS shutdown menu to appear. That key combo was very popular in Windows 8.0, where Microsoft "forgot" to put an "X" up in the upper right hand corner of Metro applications. Metro apps could open full screen. Alt-F4 is how you escape from that. Paul |

"Terminal" means "command line". It comes from the *nix world. -- - Nobody knows which you are; you don't know yourself. - Oh, yes, I do! Sometimes she goes away, but I'm always right here. - That may be the most succinct statement of the solipsist thesis I've ever heard. Write it down. |

True, but I haven't heard it called a terminal since somewhere in the 1990's. What I hear is CLI or command line (if you've used ssh to get there) or console. In Windows world, it's usually called Command Prompt. |

Closing a terminal window on Windows 10 with a keystroke

Ooops. I mean Alt + Space and then c. You can also experiment with Alt-F4. Great! Thanks! That's even more perfect! (Alt + Space) and then c ... closes the top command window that the app brings up, but you have to move your fingers again to do it for the next window below it. With (Alt + F4), you keep one finger on Alt and you hit F4, F4, F4, F4, F4, etc., until all the windows you want to close are closed (I always want to close all but the one working window but I never will know ahead of time which in the series of windows the one working window will be). So both (Alt + Space and then c) and (Alt + F4) work to close the command windows opened by the app - but Alt + F4 is even more perfect! Thank you for caring and for helping! |

Closing a terminal window on Windows 10 with a keystroke
He who is Pat said on Sun, 12 Nov 2017 10:41:40 -0500:
Do you know what keyboard keystroke closes a terminal window in Windows 10? E X I T cr That won't work in my case because these are windows opened up by an application that I can't touch with the actual keyboard typing into them. Don't ask me exactly what to call them though because they look like any window that I would open up to the command line (CLI) but they won't take any input from me other than F4 to close them down if they are working. If they are not working, F4 "sometimes" works but sometimes does not work (don't ask me why because I don't know why). But the solution of Alt + F4 works all the time as does Alt + Shift + c, but where the Alt + F4, F4, F4, F4, F4, etc., works better than the Alt + Shift + c, Alt + Shift + c, Alt + Shift + c, etc. This is great help. Thank you all! |

Closing a terminal window on Windows 10 with a keystroke

"Terminal" means "command line". It comes from the *nix world. True, but I haven't heard it called a terminal since somewhere in the 1990's. What I hear is CLI or command line (if you've used ssh to get there) or console. In Windows world, it's usually called Command Prompt. These are windows opened up by an app, only one of which in the stack is the one that is working while the others are dead. None will take a command input from me, but all seem to be command line windows, only under the control of the app, and not by me. All I have control over are the window controls, but not the command line control (so typing "exit" pr "quit" from the keyboard inside the window wouldn't work). Only the window controls work. |
