Ctrl+W in tabbed windows (GT inspector, browser/Calypso)

Hello!

I assume that Ctrl+W is a widely used keyboard shortcut for closing windows or a tab, if the window is "tabbed" (it works in web browsers, some desktops, Linux, IE, Mac OS X...).

But when I start up some exploration session in GT inspector, I have several tabs opened in a second - then, after Ctrl+W, not the actual tab, but the whole window is immediately closed, gosh...
Same situation in "window groups" (when you created tabbed window group from browser/Calypso) - Ctrl+W behaves weird.

Is everyone in comfort with the idea that Ctrl+W should close the actual tab, and if there is no tab in the window (or actual tab is the last tab), then close the window?

Tested in Pharo 5, 6 and 6.1.

Hi.

Are you sure that Calypso closes full window instead of single tab?

Because I use it all the time and it works for me in the way you described.

Actually I never knew that shortcut, but I will now.

I see it works that way in both Chrome and InternetExplorer and web browsers are a good benchmark.

But its not "critical" so I think it will be tough convincing someone to work on it for 5.0, 6.0, 6.1.

For 7 it sounds like a good idea.

It's completely weird:

1) first Ctrl+W closes the "content" of the tab
2) second Ctrl+W closes whole tabbed window

Should I enter the issue to the Fogbuz (for Pharo 7)?

Ok. I see.

It is not scenario which I used.

Now I fixed it in dev version

Wow that's fast! Next time I will use github issues for it (probably the preferred way).
Thanks.

It's the sibling of Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to move forward or
backward in a list of tabs.

I use it a lot.
