Yes, this already exists. 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></blockquote><div><br></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>
