Keyboard shortcut to close MS Paint without saving

Question

What is a keyboard shortcut in MS Paint 11 to close without saving? Yes, I know about Alt+F4, but that brings up the annoying prompt to save the file, forcing me to click a button with my mouse. I rarely want to save my Paint canvas - I just want to quickly close without saving. I have to do this many times per day and would love a quick keyboard shortcut to do it.

In older MS Paint, for example on Windows 7, I could dismiss the "do you want to save" prompt by pressing the N key. But they removed that functionality in Win11, and as far as I can tell, they force you to mouse-click the Don't save button to close without saving.

I can hit TAB twice and then ENTER, but that is 3 extra key presses instead of 1.

There must be a quicker keystroke(s) to close Paint 11 without saving. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Answer 1

I went ahead and wrote an AHK script for this:

; CTRL+Q (while MS Paint has focus) to execute

#SingleInstance Force
^q::
Send !{f4}
Send {TAB}
Send {TAB}
Send {ENTER}

Works great.
