KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
Not really sure what section I would post this is so here goes...
I remember in Ubuntu 16.04 (or something along those lines) when using Alt+Tab to cycle through running applications whilst hovering over one if you pressed Q at the same time, it would immeditaley close the application. If I wanted to do this in arch, would I need to use some sort of a Keyboard Hook? Or would I have to write a python script for this? Or something else entirely?

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
This depends on your DE or WM... but it sounds like a Gnome Shell thing.

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
Were you using the same version on Ubuntu? It is possible the feature was removed between 2016 and 2018.

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
I mean when you were using Ubuntu back in 2016. You were probably using an older version of KDE on Ubuntu than you are currently using on Arch.

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
Ah I understand now! That was my mistake... I was not using kde on ubuntu, I was using unity, I only switched to kde when I switched to arch

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
Oh I see now too 
Unfortunately I know nothing about KDE so I regretfully cannot help much further. Maybe one of the KDE people will see your thread and help you out. Also, change your title (by editing the first post and changing the title) to specifically mention KDE and it will attract the attention of KDE users who can help you better.

Re: KDE Alt+Tab+Q Quit Application
I too am not familiar with KDE but I'm pretty sure this can be achieved using the kde control centre, keyboard shortcuts. Good luck
