Hi!

It may be uncommon to ask, but... is there a way to make KDE use the Esc key instead of Alt+F4?
It would be a lot more convenient if I could close a window by simply hitting the Esc key instead of reaching out for the mouse or be stretching my hand to press two buttons at the same time

Thanks for reading!

System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> Choose KDE component "KWin" -> Close Window -> Custom.

If you just want it for some applications, such as Kopete chat windows, you can change the shortcut in most applications' Configure Shortcuts... dialog.

Thank you, I didn't notice that "KDE Component" list

Yes, that seems to be a serious usability issue with that dialog - it seems that a lot of users miss it.
