was Alt-F4 always a soft program exit and not a kill process command in windows? because I kinda wish it was a kill process command

@Rasp Yes, Alt-F4 has always sent the same signal as pressing the X in the menu bar. If you enqueue this message 3 times and the program has not stopped or cleared the message, Windows will prompt you with the end program or wait for it to respond dialog. Of course if the program is consuming this message and just refusing to die, then you have to go to the process manager.
