Feature request: Add a close button for apps/windows

[enoversum]

Hei @stianhoiland ,

just a tiny request of mine. Would you consider adding a little close button to windows/apps in cmdtab? It would mean a bit of convenience, as one wouldn't need to switch to an open window in order to close it.

Ha det bra!

That makes sense, especially with the change to mouse interaction in v1.7. A side-effect of the change is that you can no longer combine hotkeys like close window with mousing over an app; I hadn't considered that. I'll see what I can do :)

@stianhoiland Ah, lovely, take your time, and thanks for spending your thoughts on this :) !

I looked into doing this, and while bemoaning that the code isn't currently structured in a way that makes adding buttons easy and nice, I had the idea that maybe hotkeys should nevertheless target the moused over app/window, if you have moused over an app/window, ofc. Would this satisfy you, or is the visual close button specifically wanted?

@stianhoiland Well, I didn't even know there was a shortcut to close windows and apps, thanks for pointing that out. It's very much in line with your keyboard-first approach for cmdtab, for sure.
Honestly, it's all up to you, but I still think when users already have one hand on their mouse and the other one on their keyboard (like me often), having a visible close button would be very useful.
