如何通过快捷键（如CTRL+W）关闭当前激活的notepad.exe窗口？

Absolutely! You can definitely close the active/focused Notepad window using the Ctrl+W shortcut—it’s a standard Windows window management shortcut that works across most built-in apps, including Notepad.

Let me break this down with some clear details:

• When Notepad is the focused (active) window, pressing Ctrl+W will close it immediately. If you have unsaved changes, Notepad will pop up a prompt asking if you want to save your work first—exactly like when you click the close button in the title bar.
• This shortcut isn’t exclusive to Notepad either; it works for many other Windows apps (like File Explorer, Paint) and most third-party programs that follow standard Windows shortcut conventions.

If Ctrl+W isn’t working for some reason, here are a couple quick checks to try:

1. Make sure Notepad is actually the active window—click anywhere inside it first to ensure it has focus.
2. Verify that no other software (like a keyboard utility or macro tool) is overriding the Ctrl+W shortcut.

As a reliable backup, you can also use Alt+F4—this is the universal Windows shortcut to close the active window, and it works for any open application, not just Notepad.
