Hi

Some time ago I was looking for a way to close windows/apps while in Expose and didn't find an answer.

Today I wrote a simple Applescript and assigned it to Four Finger Click in BetterTouchTool:

tell application "System Events"
	key code 36
	delay 0.5
	keystroke "w" using command down
end tell

It selects the highlighted window and closes it (Cmd+W) (your key codes may vary).
If you want Expose to launch again add these two lines inside tell:

	delay 0.1
	key code 101

Maybe it's not the most elegant way, but it does the job for me.

If you know of some better way, please share your knowledge!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you assign the script in BetterTouchTool?... I am having trouble.

Thanks much

The predefined actions list contains "Open Application / File / Script" option.
I simply saved the script as an application and pointed it in BTT.
