On OS X it's Cmd-W, so I assume it would be
Alt-W on Windows (maybe Ctrl-W?).<br>

The trick is that the desktop needs to have the keyboard focus, not a
window. It won't work if you're typing in a window. First, click on
the desktop, then use the key combo. This is a bit inconvenient for
closing a single window, but it works well if you want to clean up a
bunch of windows.</div>

<div>And horribly the same short-cut means "Find a message names"
when the screen has focus. I've lost a few windows that way :( I
don't quite understand when magic-W means close window and when it
means Find message names.</div>

Oops, I wasn't very precise. I meant Cmd-w (lower-case "w"). The
shortcut that Eliot is referring to uses an upper-case "W".<br>
