In this very quick tutorial, I\u2019m going to show you how you can assign the force quit command to a key, so when a program stops working, you can close it with the press of a button and a click of the mouse.<\/p>\n<p>First, open up your GNOME menu and go to System &gt; Preferences&gt; Keyboard Shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p>Second, click \u201cAdd\u201d and a window should come up with 2 text boxes, labeled \u201cName\u201d and \u201cCommand.\u201d In Name, type \u201cForce Quit\u201d and in the Command box, type \u201cxkill\u201d and press Apply.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll down to Custom Shortcuts in the Keyboard Shortcuts window and you\u2019ll see Force Quit on the left side and Disabled on the right side. Click on Disabled once, and press a combination of keys on your keyboard. I used the Super (Windows logo) key and Escape, but you can use whatever you want, just as long as it doesn\u2019t conflict any of your other shortcuts. Now Disabled will be changed to whatever keys you pressed.<\/p>\n<p>Close out of the Keyboard Shortcuts window and you\u2019re done! When ever you press your key combination, your cursor will change to crosshairs, or a skull and bones, or at least something different than just the arrow. Whatever window you click on will be forced to close, killing all of it\u2019s processes.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself to have accidentally pressed your force quit keys, then just right click and it\u2019ll close out of the force quit mode.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/community.linuxmint.com\/tutorial\/view\/30 When you\u2019re using Linux with the GNOME UI, don\u2019t you hate it when you have to go into the terminal or add the force quit button to the panel just so you can exit an unresponsive program?
