Close keyboard shortcut consistency across apps (Ctrl + Q and Ctrl + W)
Description
The keyboard shortcuts for closing applications or tabs in them (Ctrl + Q
and Ctrl + W
) do not work consistently across GNOME apps, not speaking of third party apps.
Goals
I suggest to work out a coherent way and implement it for all apps.
Scope
Current behavior
application | Ctrl + W |
Ctrl + Q |
---|---|---|
evince | closes window | - |
terminal | closes tabs | closes current window |
gedit | closes tabs | closes all windows |
epiphany | closes tabs | closes all windows |
nautilus | closes tabs and then the current window on last tab | closes all windows |

Further notes
Although GitLab does unfortunately not support edit history for issue descriptions in the CE edition (see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/273578), I suggest to keep this description up to date to track the current behavior of applications. If you don't have the rights to edit the description, leave a comment with the things you like to see added and I or somebody else will do it.
