Yes, this already
exists. On OS X it's Cmd-W, so I assume it would be Alt-W on Windows

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.
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.
