Is there a shortcut for closing a windows (a classbbrowser, test runner, workspace, etc?
Something like Ctrl + W or similar. It think this would be a really useful shortcut (at least for me haha).
Thanks in advance.
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.
Cheers, Josh

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.

Oops, I wasn't very precise. I meant Cmd-w (lower-case "w"). The shortcut that Eliot is referring to uses an upper-case "W".

With Polymorph loaded this should work with the window having focus. Due to a little bug (miscategorised method) you'll need to load the lastest version from SqueakSource until Damien updates the dev images. (Polymorph-Widgets-gvc.54).

Will do soon. Is this version included in the latest Pharo? In the pharo-dev images I do not install Polymorph.
Should be in 10245 (not yet available for download, not present in 10243).
