In most software applications and web browsers, pressing Ctrl + W is a keyboard shortcut that closes the current window or tab.
- In a web browser, it closes the active tab.
- In Microsoft Word, Ctrl + W closes the current document.
- In some applications, it may close specific windows or panels within the program.
It’s a quick way to close things without using your mouse. However, be cautious, as it can close unsaved work. If you’ve made changes to a file, the software will often prompt you to save before closing.
