⌨ Ctrl + Q
The Ctrl + Q (on Windows) or
Command + Q (on macOS) shortcut is used to
quit or close an application.
On macOS, Command + Q is the standard way to exit programs completely, while on Windows, Ctrl + Q may be used in specific applications (such as text editors or browsers) to close the app or editor window.
💡 Pro Tip:
Use Ctrl + Q carefully—unlike closing a single tab with Ctrl + W, it may exit the entire program. Always save your work first!
