["Close"
    (lambda () (interactive)
      (if (one-window-p)
          (if (> (length (visible-frame-list)) 1)
              (call-interactively 'delete-frame)
            (kill-buffer (window-buffer))) ; (quit-window)
        (delete-window)))
    :help "Remove this window or this frame, or kill this buffer"
    :visible (not (region-active-p))
    :active t]
