    On MacOS - presumably also other platforms - you can close the current window using Command + w.

    This doesn't work for QT: you have to click the x.

    According to this it's a simple matter of adding a "Close Window" menu item. Looking at Safari I think the menu item needs to be mapped to Command + w, the actual title doesn't matter (re i18n).

    It would be nice if this shortcut, along with the "Hide Window" Command + h shortcut, would work on the currently active window, instead of all windows. In the current behaviour Command + h hides all windows, even if the debug window or the CLI options window is in focus.

    @dasilvarosa good point, even more important once multiple wallets are supported and use one window each (#11383 doesn't do that yet though)

    There is a keyboard shortcut to "hide window" (close without quitting) using Command + h. Is that what you are referring to?

    I didn't know about Command + h. That actually makes more sense in the single wallet situation. In a multi wallet situation Command + w should probably unload the wallet, whereas Command + h would just hide it but keep it loaded.
