Bug description

When running the Murmur GUI application inside the i3 tiling window manager, there is no native way to close or minimize the window gracefully using only the keyboard. The application does not implement common closing shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+W, Ctrl+Q, or Escape), which would normally allow a user to quit the program instantly.

In a traditional desktop environment (GNOME/KDE), the user can click the close button on the title bar. However, because i3 typically disables window decorations (title bars/buttons), this is not an option.

Steps to reproduce

Launch the Murmur
Ensure the Murmur window is focused.

Attempt each of the following keyboard shortcuts sequentially:

Press Ctrl + W.

Press Ctrl + Q.

Press Escape.
