Alt+F4 will close the active window

Well, that one is a little more powerful, so I don't use it as much. That one will close applications (and Ctrl+F4 closes the focused window within an application), so I don't like to use that for my rapid window closing

I wish there were an easier way to maximize the window from the keyboard. I know about the Alt+space, x, because I posted a thread a long ways back asking for just such a shortcut, and I think Tony offered me that one. I use it every once and a while, but wish there was a better one.

Can anyone recommend a very small application that will program and look out for certain macros? I'd love to map some of the shortcuts to shorter, easier keypresses. Alt+ and Ctrl+F4 are not reasonable one-handed shortcuts. I can't think of any conflicts Ctrl+Q would have
