How to write an AHK script that uses a shortcut to close PowerShell?

Question

I've known that Alt+Space C could close PowerShell, but Alt+Space is already in use for me, I want to bind Alt+F4 to Alt+Space C, how to achieve that in AHK?

@user1686 Alt+F4 doesn't close PowerShell for me, seems to [require configuration](https://superuser.com/a/1388343/1023031). — Wenfang Du, Aug 27 '21 at 09:10
Not familiar with AHK, but you can also type `Exit` to end a **PowerShell** console session. — Keith Miller, Aug 27 '21 at 16:49
@user1686 Windows 11 seems to support Alt+F4 closing PowerShell, are you using it by any chance? — Wenfang Du, Aug 28 '21 at 07:33
@WenfangDu change to Windows Terminal instead. It's much better than the default conhost and will close when you press Alt+F4 — phuclv, Aug 28 '21 at 10:00

The following script enables using Alt+F4 or Ctrl+D to close PowerShell:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe powershell.exe
  !F4::
  ^d::WinClose
#IfWinActive
