Menu
It's kind of annoying to have to use my mouse to close the windows that appear when when summoned by my keyboard e.g. I find usages of an object by hitting Shift+F12, or any of the other dockable windows that appear for various other reasons.
Ideally these would close when I hit escape, but this does nothing. Alt+F4 wants to close the entire visual studio.
Is there any keyboard shortcut to close these windows?
To be clear, this is the kind of window I'm referring to: 
254
Because if it't just a window you're talking about, alt-f4 will close the current window.
F5 - Run - This both starts the debugging session and continues the debugging session if the session is paused. F10 - Step Over - This runs just the next statement.

It appears @inksmithy has answered the question, even though it doesn't work for me. I reckon it's because I'm using ReSharper and he isn't.
For what it's worth, I just discovered Ctrl + Shift + F4 works for me.
I've decided to mark @inksmithy's answer as correct but if that doesn't work for you try my one.
