From another perspective, the implementation of this feature in other window managers and other platforms (macOS, GNOME) uses the same window-closing shortcut in the switcher, so it seems that this is what is expected and common.
  
  
  And how do you know the in-application shortcut of a window? What's for example the in application close window shortcut of Konsole or xterm? There simply is no universal shortcut. Also our default shortcut for Qt application is ctrl+q which simply is impossible to press in an alt+tab session.
