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

Something like Ctrl + W or similar. It think this would be a really useful shortcut (at least for me haha).
Thanks in advance.
