Hi good people,
I'd like to set my ESC key to close any active window. Is it possible ?
Thank you
Hi good people,

Yes, it should be possible in System ->Preferences ->Keyboard Shortcuts, Window management, but it may confuse some programs where the Esc key is already set to do something else, so take care.

Well, you can't really use ESC key, because when you try to set it, it just closes the preferences window
What I did is to use this command:
and associate it with Alt+Z combination.Code:wmctrl -c :ACTIVE:

Oh, I wasn't aware of this. Anyway, alt+z is more comfortable for my fingers
does anyone know if this can be done? i use a mini keyboard (its like using a mobile), so any multi-key function is a hastle. esc is the obvious choice as it is used in programs like xbmc to go back to the parent view.
cheers
so the missing link is xbindkeys
install xbindkeys and wmctrl
run
to create a default config fileCode:xbindkeys --defaults > /home/joe/.xbindkeysrc
edit the file, comment out the examples with #, and add the lines
then save the file and runCode:wmctrl -c :ACTIVE: Escape
voilaCode:xbindkeys
You too cool for alt+f4 or something?

Actually - yes
