💎 Feature Request: Close a ALT-TAB window with Middle-Mouse-Click (MMB) | ⭐ UPDATE: THIS WAS ADDED AT 0.9!

Look, this is exactly what I wanted in Windows 11 and I thought its so intuitive that AltTabby must have solved it — but nope :(

from Stardock Forums
Hey Stardock team! This feature just feels like a must:

Allow us to close windows directly from the ALT-TAB menu by middle-clicking.
If you make it optional, we could turn it on or off as we like.
Having the ability in ALT-TAB makes too much sense. I’d pay to stop hunting the X button.
I was hopeful that AltTabby already included this functionality, but apparently not

It’s so intuitive that I instinctively always try to do it
Even the WindHawk community didn't solve this yet.
Thanks, Kilo.

Not there today, but there is a partial already in the product. Right-click any window in the switcher and the menu has "Close window", with Terminate process below it for anything wedged. Slower than a middle-click, faster than hunting the X.

@Abisnabidam It's great, thanks for including it!

In my opinion, that option should be more exposed than now

In the 'Behavior→Additional-Settings', and not in Advanced settings, maybe even ON by default

Because it's a really basic one, and even some Windows 11 versions do it nativley
