Does anyone know how I can create a keyboard shortcut using the
combination CTRL + F4 that when pressed, closes a channel window?

Also, when I type in a channel window, the color is gray. How do I
make that black? I've tried changing colors in the settings, but that
doesn't fix it.

Found the answers:

1) Go to Settings --> Keyboard Shortcuts. In Keyboard Shortcuts,
select Key and press the keyboard combination you want to use, double
click on Action, and select Run Command.  Then, double click on Data 1
and type:

 /close

**Press enter first**, then click on SAVE.  If you press SAVE first
without pressing enter, Hexchat does not save the values correctly and
it returns NULL.

2) Go to Settings --> Text Events.  Edit the event "Your Message" (all
the way at the bottom) from %C20%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O%**C30**$t$2%O to
%C20%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O%**C01**$t$2%O (or any other color code from the
Settings > Preferences > Interface > Colors menu).
