This idea was discussed but eventually discarded. Reasons:
- You already have shortcuts to close (ctrl+w) and defocus (esc) any active dialog.
- If a dialog is open but focus is on canvas and you need to access that dialog again, currently you only need to press that dialog's shortcut once to move focus to it. With your proposal, you will have to press it twice (once to close it and then again to reopen it) which is slow and counterintuitive.
- "Dialogs on top" do not work for everyone. So, if a dialog is active but is not seen (below the canvas), pressing its shortcut to close it has no visible effect, which is extremely confusing.

Hello, I just submitted te following RFE at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1469070&gro... and was also asked to drop a note on this list, so here it is! :)
I often need to quickly adjust a grid or fill setting (and so on) and still have my 'keyboard hand' on the shortcut keys. What I propose is, to also allow the dialog to be closed again by pressing the same shortcut.
The window manager's close button can sometimes be just a bit too small (obviously depending on which window manager and theme one uses) for frequent use. This may also improve workflow a bit for keyboard-lovers like me and is hopefully trivial to implement :)
