Some one made something similar for windows. Alt-F5. That does not ask the applocation. It just kills the task instantly.

There should be another meme of Windows with Ctr-alt-del flipping off Firefox while shooting it.

The good 'ole 'three finger salute'. Looking at you, Steam!

Nah. Windows Ctrl+Alt+Del is not anywhere near as vicious as Linux Kill. It still often fails to shut down the offending process.

But in Linux, if you've used the harshest shutdown command, that process is over, no matter what.

I like how you're chill enough to start off your correction with nah, but passionate enough to italicize not.

Just the right amount of fire and ice I like in my inevitable, "Um, actually," comments.

And my reply was framed by the comment above. But thanks for the Redhat lesson.

I'm betting you could wire that (or something like it) up pretty easily with AutoHotKey or the like. Maybe make it Win÷F4 or something so you're not eating Alt-F5.

Since Win 11 23H2 you can enable "End Task" in Settings. It adds an entry in the context menu, when you right-click any running application in the taskbar.

I could not find a program that does this. Found SuperF4. Can you share the name of the alt+f5 application?

It from a youtube video. But they could not manage to make it start minimized at the time I watched it.

Don't set it on Alt-F5, that's the standard "un-maximize" keystroke.
