bspc: Close the windows rooted at the selected node.
$ bspc node --close
try on your machine

The command "bspc node --close" is used to close the currently focused node (window) in BSPWM (Binary Space Partitioning Window Manager).

In BSPWM, windows are represented as nodes in a binary tree. Each node corresponds to a window or a container containing multiple windows. By using the "--close" flag with the "bspc node" command, you are instructing BSPWM to close the currently focused node (window).

When you execute this command, BSPWM will terminate or close the window that is currently in focus, meaning the window that you are currently interacting with. This can be useful, for example, if you want to quickly close an application or terminate a window without having to find the close button or use any other means.
