You can use C-x k to kill current buffer. See Emacs Manual .
BKB has already given correct answer. Just wanted to add that C-h b lists the key bindings applicable in current buffer
Well, you can view the shortcut of any function with the Help command (C-h).
Press C-hw and then type the command name as you would in M-x mode.
For example (in your case):
- Press C-hw
- Type the name of the command:
kill-buffer( you can also use tab/space to autocomplete :) ) - Press RET
Hope that helps :)
The question asks how to kill the current buffer. Use M-x kill-this-buffer. On my Emacs, it is mapped to s-k. Fewer keystrokes is better!
C-x kto kill the current buffer.C-x 0to close the current window.C-x 1to close every other window.
