Hey everyone.
I am looking for a way to be able to, for example, hold meta+alt, right click on a window, and have that window close. In KDE (which I use) there is an option in Window Behavior in System Settings to be able to use a modifier to do certain actions (like move or minimize) which I use, but it's fairly limited and only lets you select a few, and "close window" isn't an option. I've also looked in Shortcuts and Gestures, and though the gestures confuse me somewhat, it doesn't seem like it's the answer I'm looking for.
I used to use compiz for this, but I got tired of compiz vomiting all over KDE and requiring that I kill it and start it up again (thereby mangling the layout of my windows across workspaces, etc) or even sometimes requiring that I reboot. I'm trying to get by without compiz, and KDE does indeed have pretty cool desktop effects. I suppose I could assign a shortcut to xkill, but that doesn't close things nicely and give them a chance to point out unsaved changes, etc.
I welcome any suggestions, whether they use KDE or some other program. Thanks a lot!
