> does Alt-F4 not do the right thing on Windows
Alt-F4 closes the _window_, not the application. If the application can 'survive' without a window, not exiting the application is the correct behaviour.

Like many (most?) applications which show a notification icon, discord hides the main window when the user presses Alt+F4 or clicks on the X instead of closing it.
This is even visible in the OS-controller Window Menu - hit Alt+Spacebar in any window of any app, and you'll see the Window menu appear, which will include an option for Close (the current window), showing that the shortcut for it is Alt+F4. This is even true for modal dialogs (if they are real Windows modal dialogs).
If I open blender and hit 'Render Image', a new Window will open with the rendered image. This does NOT spawn a new process. Hitting Alt+F4 on this window closes the window. This does NOT kill a process.
