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. pf

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. 2018-03-19 10:07 GMT+01:00 Petr Fischer <petr.fischer@me.com>:

It's completely weird: 1) first Ctrl+W closes the "content" of the tab 2) second Ctrl+W closes whole tabbed window Look at thos video: https://youtu.be/MUcYNGnDAR8 pf

Ok. I see. It is not scenario which I used. Now I fixed it in dev version 2018-03-19 13:32 GMT+01:00 Petr Fischer <petr.fischer@me.com>:

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

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. cheers -ben

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

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. Esteban A. Maringolo
