Hi everybody,

I'm new here.

Since I do not have much expertise in PC's, I need your help in order to create a gesture for closing a window of programs (e.g.: VLC, Photoshop,...).

I would like to create a gesture which could close ANY window of ANY programs: I tried to use Windows - Tab/Close but it did not work (but Windows - Minimize works perfectly for both windows of folders and programs).

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, and ciao from Italy.

Hi, you can close a program using

acCloseApplication(nil, gsx, gsy)

or

acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}%{F_4}")

Hax, thank you very much for you kind and fast reply.

I have poor PC knowledge though, so I need more detailed instructions on how to proceed.
If you could write how to do that step by step, I would be very gateful.

Thanks, and ciao from Italy.

So create a new action (or use an older one), choose a gesture (or create a new one) and put acCloseApplication(nil, gsx, gsy) under Lua Script:
