Try to prepare 3 separate extions:
<{ALT}
{F4}
>{ALT}

Best,

You can do it in the same navigate stage with Global send key event:

"<{ALT}{F4}>{ALT}"

Hi Waziaks,
You need to perform below key strokes in Global send key events action..
“<{ALT}{F4}>{ALT}”.
All special characters must be denoted with in “{}”..

If you are using IBM PCOMM application you can use navigate stage and events:
“<{ALT}{pf4}>{ALT}”

But if its normal web based application you can omit the “P” in “pf4”. hope it helps.

Hi,
Global Send Key events should ONLY be used if any other option works, since it is a lower-level interface that mimics keyboard keystrokes in the operating system.
If you want to close an application, I suggest you use the action "Kill Process" from Utility - Environment, where you have as input the process name that you want to close.
If for some reason this option doesn't work, you can use Global Send Keys, with the text: "^{F4}"

Then, as the last resource, the option that you mentioned, Global Send Keys Event, in the format that @Cristine014 described.
