    Forgive my ignorance, why it would be useful? You don't like the mouse? Or maybe the mouse doesn't work? Just curiosity.

    Not neccessarily. ALT-F4 closes the active window. If that is the VB IDE main window then yes VB will close.

    I should have said.

    CTRL-G
    ALT-F4

    not for me man,

    I'll press control + G, then Alt + F4, and it will give me the "save project" message like your going to exit VB..

    Many a times we need to frequently check variable/property values or run some procedure or set some value while debugging thus using the debug window. Ctrl+G comes here handy.
    But as soon as that has been done and we want to resume debugging, we need more visible space and we need to close the debug window.

    When doing the above thing quite fast, it's a pain in the neck to touch the mouse every now and then.

    @brucevde
    Alt+F4 closes the entire application, Ctrl+F4 will close the active window in an MDI application.
    In VB IDE, it will close the debug window only when it is in window form, i.e. it is NOT docked. I want to close the debug window whether docked or not. (My debug window is usually docked)

    @Marty:
    When I start a new Addin Program, and run it, it doesn't seem to run. Do we need to do something else also for addin programs. I havn't made any addins yet.
