How do I close the current file I'm working in (in Rubymine)? I don't want to click the 'x' because I hate the mouse, and I don't want to "close all modified" I simply want to close the current file that has focus, much like I can in any other program on Mac by pressing Command W.

I bet you've missed this documentation section.
Shortcut would depend on the keymap and can be customized, but the default one is Ctrl+F4 on Windows and Cmd+F4 on Mac.
Verify the shortcut in Settings
| Keymap
, make sure it doesn't conflict with other applications, try to map the Close
action to a different shortcut. It works fine, I've double checked it.

Command-W should work to close the current file in the current version of Rubymine (6.2)

Ditto what CrazyCoder said. Here are the exact steps to map Close and Close All windows to shortcut keys in Rubymine:
Rubymine | Preferences | Keymap | Main Menu | Edit | Select Word at Caret >> Remove Keyboard Shortcut: command+W
Rubymine | Preferences | Keymap | Main Menu | Edit | Unselect Word at Caret >> Remove Keyboard Shortcut: command+shift+W
Rubymine | Preferences | Keymap | Window | Editor Tabs | Close >> Remove Keyboard Shortcut: command+F4
Rubymine | Preferences | Keymap | Window | Editor Tabs | Close >> Add Keyboard Shortcut: command+W
Rubymine | Preferences | Keymap | Window | Editor Tabs | Close All >> Add Keyboard Shortcut: command+shift+W
