[squeak-dev] Is there a shortcut for closing a windows (a classbbrowser, test runner, workspace, etc?

Something like Ctrl + W or similar. It think this would be a really useful shortcut (at least for me haha).

Thanks in advance.

Yes,  this already exists.  On OS X it's Cmd-W, so I assume it would be Alt-W on Windows (maybe Ctrl-W?).

The trick is that the desktop needs to have the keyboard focus, not a window.  It won't work if you're typing in a window.  First, click on the desktop, then use the key combo.  This is a bit inconvenient for closing a single window, but it works well if you want to clean up a bunch of windows.

Cheers,
Josh

And horribly the same short-cut means "Find a message names" when the screen has focus.  I've lost a few windows that way :(  I don't quite understand when magic-W means close window and when it means Find message names.

Oops, I wasn't very precise.  I meant Cmd-w (lower-case "w").  The shortcut that Eliot is referring to uses an upper-case "W".

Will do soon. Is this version included in the latest Pharo? In the
pharo-dev images I do not install Polymorph.
