[SOLVED] KDE re-assign 'Close Window' shortcut

Does anyone know how I could re-assign the default ALT+F4 shortcut to close the active window to something else (In my case I want SHIFT+META+C)? I tried it with Command/URL and kquitapp, but of course (same as kill) it needs the name of the application.
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] KDE re-assign 'Close Window' shortcut

Navigate thru to: System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global Keyboard Shortcuts
There select KDE component: KWin
Select the "Close Window" Action
Switch from Default setting to Custom, then click the input box to set the shortcut.
Hit Meta+Shift+C to make it the shortcut/key sequence to close windows.
Hit apply.
