If you are new to using a Mac computer, you may have noticed that the window management system on macOS is different from what you were used to on Windows. While Windows uses a maximize and minimize button to control windows, macOS uses a different approach. In this guide, we will walk you through the various methods of closing windows on a Mac.

1. Closing a Window with the Red X Button

Like Windows, macOS also has a red X button located at the top left corner of each window. However, clicking this button on a Mac does not actually close the window, but merely closes the content within it. The window remains open in the background. To completely close the window, you need to use a different method.

2. Closing a Window using Keyboard Shortcut

A faster way of closing windows on a Mac is by using a keyboard shortcut. Simply press the Command (⌘) key along with the W key, and the active window will close. This is a great shortcut to quickly close multiple windows without reaching for the mouse each time.

3. Closing a Window from the Menu Bar

If you prefer to use the menu bar, you can close a window by clicking on the “File” menu and then selecting “Close” or “Close Window” from the drop-down menu. This action will close the active window.

4. Closing All Windows of an Application

When you have multiple windows open in an application and want to close them all at once, hold down the Option (⌥) key and click on the red X button located at the top left corner of any window. This will close all windows associated with that application.

5. Closing a Window with Trackpad Gestures

If you own a MacBook or have a Magic Trackpad, using gestures can be another efficient method to close windows. With three fingers, swipe upwards to enter Mission Control, then swipe left or right to navigate between windows. Finally, once you are on the desired window, swipe upwards with three fingers again to close it.

Mastering window management on a Mac is essential for boosting your productivity. Whether you prefer using the red X button, keyboard shortcuts, the menu bar, or trackpad gestures, now you have a variety of methods to efficiently close windows on your Mac. Experiment with these techniques and find the ones that work best for you.
