Shutting down an app should not be a chore, but if you’re running one in a full-screen mode, it’s a hassle. First, you have to drag the cursor to the top edge in search of the three colorful buttons. Once there, you tap on the red “close” button to close an active app window. There’s an easier way to do that with a shortcut.
The answer is Command + Q. This shortcut not only closes an app but also kills its activity in the background. Usually, when you hit the red-color close button for an app, it closes the app window, but the icon still persists in the dock at the bottom. This shortcut does away with that persistence.
Once you perform the Command + Q gesture, the app won’t remain in the dock. The next time you launch it, all in-app activity will start anew. So, make sure that app has an auto-save function before you hit the Command + Q shortcut, else you might lose the progress on whatever it is you were doing.
In case an app is stuck and not responding to the Command + Q shortcut, try Command + Option + Q to force quit it. A slightly modified version is the Command + Option + Escape, which lets you quit multiple apps at once.
