Description
Since I the keyboard a lot to navigate around and interact with windows I miss ctrl-w a lot. Yes you can use alt-f4, but ctrl-w is more subtile and easier to reach without lifting my hands.
I do use 'minimise to the tray'.

11:59 <@charles> Han: it seems really strange to me to have "close window" in a monowindow, tabless app 12:00 < Han> It's not a mono window application, and if you do use the tray it's very practical. 12:00 <@charles> and the tray icon is turned off by default, so most users will have no clue what the "close" menu does differently from "exit" 12:01 < Han> Really? It's a standard keybind in both windows and gtk 12:01 < KyleK_> Han: I must disagree: Ctrl-W is not standard at all in windows 12:02 <@charles> Han: I'm trying out various dialogs at random in gnome apps and coming up short 12:02 < Han> :-$ looks it up. 12:02 < KyleK_> and you'll only find it MDI applications 12:02 <@charles> gnome-terminal > edit > profiles, ctrl-w does nothing 12:02 <@charles> pidgin > accounts > manage accounts, ctrl-w does nothing 12:03 < KyleK_> by default, in MDI apps closing a window is (by default) done via Ctrl-F4 12:03 < KyleK_> Ctrl-W came with Firefox, I believe 12:03 < KyleK_> (and I got addicted to it in no time :p) 12:03 <@charles> calculator > help > about, ctrl-w does nothing 12:04 <@charles> this is only for multi-document accounts. the gnome hig says ctrl-w should be used to "close the current document" 12:05 < Han> ctrl-w closes an internet explorer window here. 12:06 < Han> Even without confirmation. :-D 12:07 <@charles> who cares about internet explorer.... :) 12:08 < Han> Sigh, it's the standard application for windows. 12:08 < KyleK_> IE copied it from Mozilla 12:09 <@charles> they're both multidocument apps 12:09 <@charles> how does any of this apply to Transmission 12:09 < KyleK_> well, IE wasn't until IE8 12:10 < Han> I'm not going to repeat my arguments. 12:10 <@charles> KyleK_: yes it was; there were separate windows 12:10 <@charles> KyleK_: yes it was; there were separate windows 12:10 <@charles> Han: ? 12:10 <@charles> Han: where did you explain how a multidocument metaphor applies to Transmission? 12:11 < KyleK_> hm, true 12:11 < KyleK_> anyway 12:11 < Han> "This is also practical if you open prefs, stats or props." 12:11 <@charles> wtf? 12:12 <@charles> Han: find me a gtk app that uses ctrl-w to close the prefs dialog 12:12 < KyleK_> do you still think the first issue I brought up (the proper ID for identifying PEX messages) is not a bug? 12:12 < Han> charles, firefox 12:12 <@charles> KyleK_: I'm sorry, I got distracted by this other discussion 12:12 <@charles> Han: I said gtk app 12:13 * kjg likes using command-w and NOT having ok buttons in preferences in mac apps 12:14 * lenk likes the good old 'escape' for 'cancel' 12:14 <@kjg> but obviously the gtk HIG should be followed for gtk apps 12:14 * livings likes to follow the HIG 12:15 * KyleK_ likes beer 12:15 <@charles> I've tried a handful of gnome apps and none of them follow this idiom 12:15 < lenk> Hm, we should all fork our own version of transmission. Except that I don't - it seems T already does the escape thing ;). 12:16 < Han> :-) 12:16 < Han> hmmm indeed, they don't 12:16 < Han> weird
