What's a Quick Way to Close Applications in Fedora Using Kitty Terminal?

Asked by TechWhiz42
I've noticed that many users can quickly close applications in Fedora without clicking the close button, often using short keyboard commands. I'm trying to do something similar in the Kitty terminal, but I'm not sure how. I've attempted to set up a shortcut for the xkill command, but I'm unable to use it or install the package. Can anyone share some tips or alternative methods for closing terminals or applications quickly?

If you're running on Wayland, you might need to adjust the global shortcut settings in your desktop environment to close applications quickly. Check the settings for your DE to set up a custom shortcut for that!

MinorDetail: Yeah, that's probably the best way to go about it. Make sure to look through all the shortcut options!

You can try using the keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + D or Alt + F4 to close your terminal sessions quickly! Those are commonly used alternatives for closing applications without having to use the mouse.
