Isn't that more or less the same? Hmm - best to look it up:

   CTRL+F4 Close the active document in applications that allow you to

   ALT+F4 Close the active item, or quit the active application.

But, erm, this may or may not have something to do with the
fact that I am using the danish version of Windows.

The official keyboard shortcuts doesn't mention "quit" nor "exit".
