About this mod
Run this before you start your game, or after and you will be able to press ALT F4 at any time to forcefully close the game immediately. It's a .ahk (Autohotkey) script, but I compiled it to .exe for people who don't want to install it. It can be set up to run with the game. Version that has a GUI with customize-able settings.
- Permissions and credits
So why use this? Almost all Bethesda games suffer from hanging if you try to alt tab. Sometimes it hangs in general. When this happens alt+f4 does not work. You must go to task manager and end task through there. This is a failsafe just in case that happens. It works on all Bethesda games.
4.0 versions had a major bug that broke mod managers and has been fixed in 5.0. I highly suggest you update to 5.0 if you were one of the unfortunate few who downloaded it.
The bug: In 4.0, if you used this on any game you were managing with a mod manager, you would have to restart your computer for the mod manager to be able to manage the game. It was such a bad bug that I have since removed all 4.0 files and images containing the code.
Autohotkey script to forcefully close the game when you press alt+f4.
For the .ahk version you need autohotkey. I compiled the script to .exe for those who don't want to install it.
Alt F4 - Basic Version 5.0 Usage:
You can get SLEA to open and close this file everytime you launch the game:

Alt F4 - GUI Version 5.0 Usage:
Run the file, and click save to generate a .ini file that the script can read from. The menu will close but be active in the background. Press F10 (by default) to re-open the menu. (You need to click save every time you run this you only need to click save the first time you run it now (5.0), the next time you run it the GUI will be hidden to be less annyoing. You can open the GUI by pressing f10)
Executable Name: Has to be the same name as the .exe without the .exe part. IE: FalloutNV, if you wanted to close GTA V it would be "GTAV" without the quotations in 5.0 this is completely removed, works on any active window now.
Force Close: This is the keybind that gets used, by default it is ALT+F4 but you can change it to anything you'd like.
Open GUI: This is the keybind responsible for opening the Alt F4 menu.

If you want to get SLEA to open more than one file. You can do the following:
Spoiler:
Method 1:
We make SLEA open a batch file.
Method 2:
Instead we run a batch file that opens SLEA.
Method 3
Functionality wise this batch file does the same thing SLEA does. (closes anything it runs after it can't detect the game anymore but it doesn't skip the launcher.)

Method 1:
We make SLEA open a batch file.
Spoiler:
Note: that when you do this. You have to run from a .bat file; therefore, the processes will not close by themselves like when using the above method. Remove "/w" to automatically close the batch file after it runs the commands (Command prompt stays open until the programs closes if you run with /w)
6.c. Make a new file called "whatever_you_want.bat" without quotations and open it in notepad and put the following:
start /w /d "Filepath Goes Here" ExeNameGoesHere.exe
Here is a working example and what yours should look like mostly.
start /w /d "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas" Alt_F4.ahk
start /w /d "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas" Other_Program.exe
or if the files are in the same directory as the .bat you can put
start /w /d Alt_F4.ahk
start /w /d Other_Process.exe
OR
"%~dp0Alt_F4.ahk" /w
"%~dp0FILENAMEHERE.EXE" /w
6.d. Save the .bat file and put the following in slea.ini:

Spoiler:
You technically don't even have to edit the slea.ini with this method. With this you can just make a batch file that runs everything.
Optionally, perform steps 1 to 6.a/6.b and then perform step 6.c:
6.e. Inside your .bat file put the following:
start /w /d "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas" FalloutNVLauncher.exe

Spoiler:
I'm not going to give a tutorial for this one. At this point, you should be able to figure it out. @REM are comments to help a little. raise value "6" higher if the game doesn't start before the batch file executes causing the batch file to close everything it just opened along with itself.
