Is there a convention for the shortcut keys for application exit?
Some applications uses Alt+X some others use Ctrl+ X and Ctrl+Q.
Applications like FF and IE doesnot assign a shortcut at all.
So is there any accepted convention for that?
Note:Am talking about Windows here.
I'd say that of your three suggestions, I'd stay away from Alt+X, since that would often refer to whichever menu had X as its accelerator key, and Ctrl+X because that's usually Cut. Beyond that... I don't know.
Microsoft apps don't seem to define one, probably because you can just Alt+F4 out.
Here's a list of supported shortcuts...

It appears that Alt+F4 or Ctrl+F4 are your best bet. Also, Ctrl+W closes the current window in IE but also works for Explorer and other Windows windows. :)

I'm web developer on mac os and I need a feature that allow's to pin web inspector in separate window always on top of current page. I'm trying to create addon with this feature, never did it before. Researched developer.mozilla.org but can't find any ability to do it. Any suggestions how to do it?
You'll have to use this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/topick/
You can set any hotkey you want. On Windows and Linux it supports toggling "always on top"-ness for all system windows (not just Firefox). On Mac it currently is limited to just Firefox windows, but hopefully soon it will be system wide on Mac as well.

I would have expected this to be a very simple task: switching between windows of the same application, but I can't seem to find the shortcut to do it. I generally have several windows of applications like Chrome (each window holding all the tabs related to a particular topic).
The behaviour I am looking for is what is implemented in Mac OSX with the Cmd+~ keyboard shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve the same on Windows 7?
There is no such a keyboard shortcut but holding Ctrl + clicking on the icon in the taskbar repeatedly will cycle through that program's open windows.
See https://superuser.com/questions/435602/shortcut-in-windows-7-to-switch-between-same-applications-windows-like-cmd.
Scott's answer is the closest one I've found to doing this. To summarize what he said:
Win + n where n is the number position of the application in the TaskBar.
Then to cycle through, keep Win down and press n again.
(Updated thanks to #ZYinMD's comments - but also see their 1st comment)
Use AltEsc for fast switching without any GUI pop up

Maybe related: If you want that the windows open directly when click on the stacked taskbar symbol (instead of opening the list), you can add the DWORD "LastActiveClick" to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
and set it to 1.

I noticed a while back (not sure how long ago) when I tried to use the F2 key to rename a file in windows explorer, if Outlook was running another instance of it would pop up. This is very annoying since I am trying to write a Python program that uses the function keys. I searched Google and Outlook settings to no avail.
If anyone knows how to deal this I would appreciate an answer.
Thanks
/Paul
What you describe is not normal behaviour for Outlook. I have Outlook open all the time, and use F2 all the time to rename things in several different programs including Explorer.
Check the properties of your shortcut to Outlook, and see if you accidentally set F2 to be the shortcut key.

I'm using 2 Displays with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I would like to have a keyboard shortcut to move the active window from one display to another (not space).
I just found answers for moving between spaces or one hint for windows:
https://superuser.com/questions/62603/keyboard-shortcut-for-moving-window-to-another-screen
I use SizeUp, which has this feature and lots of other useful window management abilities.
I use Divvy. Very good application if you have many screens and many windows open. There are always apps like Cinch which may be able to help.
I use Better Snap Tool.
Power Mover 2 is great for moving windows between displays with the keyboard.

I have this application that I haven't created and I don't have the source for. But it's really handy in handling and recording the time I've used on different projects. But it has this annoying pop-up that comes up that contains a window and some debug text I believe. It wasn't done by a professional, it was just a hobby project. Everything is working even though this window appear. So I was wondering if it's possible to "hijack" a window and minimizing or closing it somehow?
Yes. You could hide the window if you have its title. There are other ways to do it, but..
The following application does a few tweaks on another window, check it out:
