enlightenment has its own shortcut support at least wrt window actions and certainly to close the active window.
Don't overcomplicate this.

Hello,
see if your DE is based run wayland or x11
for x11 like xfce and wayland like gnome
and most DE have a keyboard shortcut setting see if your DE have something like that search inside entry for closing window and give it a shortcut with your keyboard.
EDIT:
i GO OGLE d for keys for closing window you use

Ctrl + Alt + X (Enlightenment Desktop E25)
Close a window

Ctrl + Alt + K (Enlightenment Desktop E25)
Kill window

search on your own for other shortcuts.
