Hello, I don't know what may be causing this, but I've just realized that pressing Alt+F4 changes to tty4 besides closing the current window.
I'm running Gnome here, does anybody happen to come across this?

Alt+f4 is the way to change to tty4, change back by pressing alt+f7.
alt+f3 is for tty3, and so on.

I thought the way to change to the different tty was Ctrl+Alt+Fn, I don't recall pressing Alt+F4 and going to a tty before :S.
Thank you.

It is. Pressing Alt+F4 while in X session shouldn't bring you to tty.

Happened to me before, tried figuring out what caused it but the fact that it never recurred meant I couldn't be bothered. Just restart, it should be fine after. I was thinking Ctrl might be 'stuck', but xev doesn't show that.

Thank you for the answer, xev doesn't show the Ctrl key stuck here either.
Rebooting doesn't seem to get it back to normal, using Arch's stock kernel produces the same behaviour.
I feel I may end up reinstalling the complete system or forgetting about Alt+F4 to close things.

Alt-f4 is also the windows way to close things(I think) Perhaps GNOME is accommodating for windows users?

Doesn't an Alt+F4 close the current app in other DEs?
