I'm going to follow the apple human interface guidelines on this point and leave things as they are: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/Menus/Menus.html > and fixing the moving of the Ctrl+W keybinding in the labels. > > Another option is to change: > > File -> Close (Ctrl+W) > File -> Close Tab > > to > > File -> Close Window (Ctrl+Shift+W) > File -> Close Tab (Ctrl+W) > > and not move the shortcuts depending on tab plurality. > > Firefox and Midori both have Ctrl+Shift+W bound to Close Window, so > maybe that is a good candidate for drRacket too (if a shortcut beyond > Alt+F4 is desired for Close Window).

I like the idea of adding shift, but I've changed things so that instead of the w shortcut going away, the close menu item becomes <menukey>-shift-w (so the shifting behavior is still there and we are complying with the guidelines in the no-tabs case).
