You can drag the top edge all the way to the bottom of the screen and that will close the app. Thank you. Most "intuitive" for windows; will try it later. |

I've been using the upper left corner & tried the "pull down" of the app. However, both methods use the OS (win8) to close the apps & NOT within an app selection itself. It's like using the ctrl-C to kill an app in unix/linux or even using the "kill" (ps -9 ...). And that reminds me to check if the free ms pstools will work on win8 when the task manager won't respond. Some early versions of Firefox for the android tablet had a "quit" button/selection but somehow the "quit" was removed in the later & current versions; someone made an add-on plugin to have the "quit" re-instated. I only have 1 metro app on the win8 laptop & have read an interesting thread on the android newsgroup where the apps take up resources since they aren't closed & only "out-of-sight". Just wonder if the metro apps will do the same in win8 & win8.1 since the OS is being done to follow how the tablet works. |

At least one other site had about a hundred hot key combos, and didn't list that one. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/wi...tro-style-apps Paul |
