F11 Repeat last quick chat dialogue.
Ctrl When held down and the mouse is clicked on the main screen or in the Minimap window, Run is turned on for that movement only.
Esc Close the quick chat dialogue box and return to the regular game messages.
Alt-F4 Close browser window. (This is browser/OS command, though, not a Runescape hot key.)

NOTE: <ALT-F4>, <CTRL-F4>, <ALT-ESC> and <CTRL-W> immediately log you off Runescape, even if your character was in combat. The combat continues, and if the monster dies any monster drops with a low enough price are immediately available to other nearby players.

If you die from the combat, you drop all your items under a gravestone, based on the rules for items carried and for your current location, and when you will log back in you will be at your respawn point. An update has made it so that gravestones will not disappear when you log out, however the timer will still run.

Otherwise, you will log back in to the location where you were standing when you logged off using <ALT-F4>, <CTRL-F4>, <ALT-ESC> or <CTRL-W>.
