I'm just glad that C-x doesn't quit most applications while I'm trying to save.
- prakashk 15y agoAs someone who accidentally closed many, many firefox tabs by pressing C-w, especially when I am writing in a textbox which is even more annoying, I can't imagine the havoc it would wreak if C-x were to quit apps. I know there are alternatives like It's All Text extension [1] which lets me hook emacs into Firefox, but it's not been updated for recent versions of Firefox.

Also, I've read that some people like to rebind their ctrl+W to something else so they don't have the habit to close their windows in other os/apps. IIRC, C-w is kill-region? Personally, as stated earlier, I use evil so I don't have that problem (I press d to delete the selected region).
