Great that looks like it'd work but how do I add it to an action? I can't seem to figure out how... :(

Opene a txt editor and write the command you want
Save it as a filename.cmd
Add that to KLP

Have you used KLP before?
Add a keystroke shortcut as a shortcut or link,

Do you have notepad open?
It shoudl be closing it.

Worked for me.

You'll want to change notepad.exe to whatever app you want to close
