Bug Description

TEST CASE

2. Activate the windows switcher (ALT+Grave) and select the window
3. Keep ALT pressed and close it with the keyboard shortcut ALT+F4
4. Release ALT to close the switcher

It should stay closed.

I believe Alt+F4 closes the window that had focus when you opened the switcher, not the currently selected app in the switcher.

I think that either Alt+F4 needs to be intercepted and thrown away when the switcher is open, or it needs to close the currently selected app in the switcher.
