Mission Control cannot close a window. Click the window to leave Mission Control, and press Command+W. With [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), you can right-click a window in Mission Control to close it, or point at it and press Command+W.

## With Supercharge

1. Open [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), and give it the access that it asks for in [“Device Control and Data Access”](https://sindresorhus.com/apps/faq#device-control-access).
1. Open the Supercharge settings, and click “Tweaks”.
1. In the “Mission Control” section, turn on “Window actions & shortcuts”.
1. Open Mission Control, and right-click a window. The window closes.

To do something else with a right-click or a middle-click, choose “Minimize Window”, “Quit App”, or “Hide App” in “Right-click action” and “Middle-click action”. You can also point at a window and press Command+W, Command+Q, Command+H, or Command+M, and move between the windows with the arrow keys. On macOS 27, moving between the windows with the arrow keys does not work yet in other spaces.

## Without an app

Click the window in Mission Control to go to it, and then press Command+W to close it, or Command+Q to quit the app. Then open Mission Control again for the next window.

[Apple’s instructions.](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/see-all-your-open-windows-mh35798/mac) This works, but it takes two steps for each window. Supercharge is for when you clean up many windows at once.
