Does anyone else double click the icon on the left side of the title bar to close a window?

I don't do it often but sometimes I'll catch myself closing a window that way. Something still left over from my Win 3.1 days I guess. Does anyone else do this?

Not usually in Windows. In CDE I do it all the time though.

I will alt F4 in Windows constantly though.

I just keep opening more windows until it BSODs, and get to start with that freshly started OS smell.

sometimes I alt-f4, sometimes I click the x, sometimes I double-click the icon. In firefox I just make an L with my mouse.

Apple+W

I some times click on the left side since the Mac OS X has the widget on the left side.

Alt+F4 if I'm near the keyboard
Double click icon if I'm near it
Click on X if I'm near it
Right click on the taskbar & Close if I'm near it

Basically whatever is the easiest :)

I find it easier to make the swooping gesture to the top left corner, than to the top right corner, so 99% of the time I dblclick.

Usually I click the X, sometimes double-click the icon. ALT-F4 takes too long to press.

Bad poll: no "other" option.
I middle-click the title bar :) (BBLeanSkin > poll).

didn't know
i tend to right click the taskbar and close though cuz it's a bigger target therefore requires less precision

but now with this new mouse I just use this button dedicated to closing :D

No. I go to File > Close.




Just kidding, but my brother closes all windows that way. It gets on the nerves after a while :Q
