We stumbled into similar territory on a (non-sugar) project. It appears that there is a "convention", at least on some platforms, that: ctrl+q - quits the app ctrl+w - closes the current window (of a multi-window app) Now... What does ctrl+w do when you close the last window of a multi- window app? AFAICT, the depends on the the app and varies between implementations. Similarly, if ctrl+w does mean "close the current window of this app" what does that mean for single-window apps? Is it a synonym for ctrl+q then? Anyway, I first encountered this on Windows, but have seen versions of the same behaviour on Linux and OSX, so I believe it is widely implemented (and there seems to be a body of users that expect that behaviour...) Indeed, (testing now) Safari seem to interpret ctrl+w as "close current tab" and when you close the last tab, it quits. I don't know the history of this, all I know is that we got messed up by this in our app - we'd done something like map ctrl+w to "word left" or whatever, and the users were upset because this clashed with their expectation that ctrl+w would close the foreground window... _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
