    Hello,

    A while ago I was creating some shortcuts in AutoCad: in the acad.mnu
    file I added
    lines that looked like the following:

    ID_ZoomExten [Control+ALT+"E"]
    ID_ZoomWindow[Control+ALT+"W"]
    ID_Export [Control+SHIFT+"X"]

    When updating the .mnu file, all goes well, the new shortcuts work
    fine.

    I also would like to make a similar shortcut for "Close", but for
    some reason, that doesn't seem to work so fine. I tried stuff like:
    ID_Close [Control+ALT+"Q"] (and other letters), but that
    doesn't budge.
    How can I make this happen? Do I need to add another line somewhere in
    the code?

    Thanks for any help!

    BTW: I know that CTRL-F4 can be used to close the drawing window, but I
    would like to define my own - different - shortcut for this.
