Edit: None of the answers I got work so I went ahead and filed a bug in KDE bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502901

Neither CTRL Q or CTRL W work for me. I set a hotkey for the window operations menu in Settings app > Shortcuts > KWin > Window Operations Menu, but then pressing the close button in the context menu that shows, closes the window of the other window I was focused on and not the debugger.

I've had the titlebar rule enabled for over a month and the debugger is literally the only window I have issues with. Titlebars are a waste of screen real estate and don't look good imo.

Then just change the rule to not include the debug console...

I don't think you read the question correctly.

How much "space" are you really "saving"? A centimeter? Anyway, it's your computer, you do whatever you please to it.

Doesn't work

if esc or alt+f4 don't do what you want, try going to window management in settings and making a window rule. you can click the detect window properties button then click the offending window and set the window type to match. then you can try using rules like forcing the titlebar on just that window or ignoring global shortcuts or one called 'closable'. i've never used any of these but it's a thought.

@TheTwelveYearOld I don't have a solution but you may be able improve the quality of replies by not mentioning titlebars at all and asking how to close the Kwin debug console without mouse input

People are still overlooking the goal regardless....
