These work whether JAWS is running or not.  \n\n| Action | Shortcut |\n|---|---|\n| Close the **current** tab | `Ctrl + W` or `Ctrl + F4` ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Close the **current** window (which closes all tabs in that window) | `Alt + F4` ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Quit Brave entirely (closing all windows/tabs) | `Ctrl + Shift + W` or via menu `Alt + F \u2192 X` ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What to use to close *all* tabs\n\nIf you want to close *all* open tabs in Brave (in the *current window*), the fastest reliable way is:\n\n- Press `Alt + F4`\n\nThis command closes the entire browser window, which removes all its open tabs. If you only have one window, this effectively closes all tabs. If multiple windows are open, it only closes whichever window is active. ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave?utm_source=openai))\n\nAnother option is `Ctrl + Shift + W`; this closes the current window as well. ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032272171-What-keyboard-shortcuts-can-I-use-in-Brave?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83c\udfa7 Using JAWS\n\nJAWS adds a layer of feedback and sometimes uses modifier keys in combination with standard shortcuts. From JAWS Quick Start / Hotkeys documentation:\n\n- **Close All Tabs** \u2192 `Alt + F4` ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/training/jaws/hotkeys/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Close Other Tabs** \u2192 `Ctrl + Alt + F4` (this leaves the current tab open, and closes all others in that window) ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/training/jaws/hotkeys/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nWhen you press these while JAWS is active, JAWS should announce that you are closing the window or tabs.\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Things to Watch Out For\n\n- **Unsaved work**: If you\u2019ve typed something in a form or have unsaved changes in a webpage, closing all tabs/windows might lose that data.\n- **Multiple windows**: If you have more than one Brave window open, `Alt + F4` only closes the window in focus\u2014not necessarily everything. To close *all* tabs across *all* windows, you'd either need to do `Alt + F4` in each window or quit Brave entirely.\n- **Settings**: Brave has settings that can restore tabs after closing. If you accidentally close everything, you might still be able to restore tabs depending on your startup settings. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/10bke43?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me *exactly* how many windows you have open and if there are pinned tabs you want to keep, I can walk you through step-by-step with JAWS to close everything or just what you want."
