Except for Discord, which actually closes the entire application on Alt-F4 instead of just the window.

Huh. You are right. Alt+F4 closes the application, clicking the X closes the window. Kinda inconsistent.

Alt+F4 closes the window, clicking the X causes the window to hide, not close.

Alt-F4 invokes different processes than the X button does. The X button is more akin to CTRL-F4.

Nah, they both send WM_CLOSE to the window. The actual problem is that Discord uses its own non-native window frame and reimplements the X button differently than they handle the actual close event.

Alt-F4 closes the window for me on Discord, not the app. There's a setting for that I suppose.
