ipython notebook shortcut for close help window

One of the nice things about ipython notebook is cell magic and shortcuts. A very useful feature is that I can use tab for autocomplete and tab + shift for a documented tooltip. Sometimes

I want to read more documentation though and for that I can use the ?.

For example, if I type the following code into a cell,

import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv?

then a wonderful popup appears that can help me out.

enter image description here

The downside is that I need the mouse to close this helper tab by clicking on the x button that has been circled in the picture.

Is there a shortcut known for this? I love the functionality but I find that using the mouse to click and close the window slows me down when I am in 'the zone'.

I couldn't find it listed in the list of shortcuts either (which is accesible by first going to command mode crtl+m and then accessing the help h), so I am not sure if this feature is currently supported

On IPython master/3.0 (Have to check on 2.x), go to command mode then press q. esc might work in some cases. I don't think there are shortcut in edit mode, but you can also bind your own shortcuts in recent versions.
