<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The ellipsis in the label "End Process..." adds to that confusion. It indicates that further input is necessary before the action can take effect. While the button does open a dialog to confirm killing the selected process, ellipses are actually reserved for actions where a dialog asks for new information, such as the "Save As..." button, not for actions that require confirmation.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">To avoid this confusion, it should be possible to also click "End Process..." even if no processes has been selected, whuch would then ask the user to select the process to kill. This could theoretically be done similarly to the "Kill specific window" function: Click the "End Process..." button and then click the process in the list that you want to end. Alternatively, if no process had been selected when "End Process..." is clicked, a dialog could be opened where the process to kill would be selected. Of course the current flow of ending a process could and should still work.</p></pre>

The ellipsis in "End Process..." is the original design. According to your explanation this was wrong in the first place. What about removing the ellipses in both menu items so we will end up with "End Process" and "Kill a specific window"?</p></pre>

The "End Process..." button has a tooltip which says "To target a specific window to kill, press Ctrl+Alt+Esc at any time." The keyboard shortcut is hardcoded.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">New:
Replace the "End Process..." button with a drop-down button and a action named "Kill a specific window..."</p></pre>
