Nope, Alt+F4 is the close window shortcut.

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).

Weirdly enough, Alt+Spacebar, then clicking close only closes the window (minimizing to the tray), but just hitting Alt+F4 kills the process.

You mean for Discord I assume? That is strange indeed - though of course Windows has always allowed apps to modify any kind of behavior they want (for better and for worse).
