"Force quit" in the right click menu

Open teamcons opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Problem

Sometimes an app is running in the background but there is the need to have it closed Sometimes an app refuses to close

Proposal

Right-click on the dock, "Force the application to quit"

this option would appear when an app is running - with an active window somewhere on a desktop, or in the background

Prior Art (Optional)

No response

Even just a "close" in the context menu would be nice. "Force Quit" seems too harsh. Broadly speaking though, I agree, good feature request

There is another issue open about closing windows from the dock

This one was mostly aimed at background apps, and frozen ones. The latter has gala terminate anyway, and now monitor, and the former is now covered by the background processes thingy

The original intent if this issue report is resolved, as far as im concerned
