ALT + F4 (Windows PC users), COMMAND + W (Mac users)

ALT + F4. What does it do? If you hold down the ALT key on your keyboard and press the F4 key (located on the uppermost row of keys on your keyboard), you will essentially be closing the program that is currently open. Basically, it works the same as clicking the X at the top right of your open window. Why is this useful? If an open window does not have an X in the upper right hand corner, use ALT + F4. WORKS WONDERS FOR WINDOWS 8 USERS in those programs that have no menu bar!
MAC users: Hold down the Command key and press W.
