Feature request - Close the app with ESC.

[Johann Kok]

Since it is a calculator that is constantly opened and closed, opened and closed while doing other work how about creating an option to close it with ESC button?

And maybe a keyboard shortcut to open it also, like ALT CTRL C or something?

Hi, Johann.  I believe those are tasks to be handled by window managers, not applications.  All major desktop operating systems already allow for that kind of customization.

Hi Johann,

I've built automation for you to do this. Just go to https://www.autohotkey.com/ and grab the latest version and install. Now you can run .ahk scripts which define hotkeys for you, so I created a toggle for you, using CTRL-WIN-C  (c for calculator)

Just open notepad and put the below code in and save it as "MyTools.ahk" or whatever (you can add to more and more functions to it if you want to learn AutoHotkey).
Double click on the .ahk file to load it and now your CTRL-WIN-C toggle is running, hit CTRL-WIN-C to make speedcrunch appear and CTRL-WIN-C to kill it again!

I could modify that to just minimise speedcrunch instead of killing it. Let me know if you want that and we can change it ☺

Regards,

Roy.
