Hi, In addition to what Theresa has mentioned, you can close apps from the Dock. Press VO-d to bring VO focus to the Dock, navigate right or left and listen to what VO announces. It will tell you if an app is open by announcing “Open” after announcing the app name. If you wish to Close/Quit that app, press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual menu then the letter “q” to take you to the Quit option. Press return and, if nothing needs saved, the app will quit. one thing to note, closing a window on a Mac simply closes the window, it does not quit or close the app. There are a few exceptions to this as in System Preferences but this is the rule for the most part. If you wish to quit the app while in it, simply press cmd-q and it’s done, unless a document needs attention.
HTH.
