Justification/Rationale to revert to the original functionality. 1 - the change broke existing UI/functionality. A change like that should be done with great care with respect to the elegant solution of the original functionality. 2 - the original functionality was very good. If one accidentally hit Ctrl-J another Ctrl-J would hide/close the downloads window. A user is now required to close the window or use an alternate keystroke to close or change focus. 3 - it does no harm to add back the functionality. There is no new feature that now uses Ctrl-J. 4 - the original functionality was a simple interface. Why add complexity when the original functionality met a goal of KISS?

Try using Alt + F4 instead.

(In reply to vixenvonskull9 from comment #2) > Try using Alt + F4 instead. But that requires moving two fingers... Ctrl-W, on the other hand, seems to work on Windows in 44.0.2, and you don't need to move whichever pinky finger was on the Ctrl button.
