I am highly technical (multiple linux machines at home) and I don't use ctrl-w. I didn't know it was a thing.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoI do, but only because it's a stupid-ass shortcut I keep triggering on accident.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoI don't really mind triggering ctrl-W by accident because ctrl-shift-T will undo the mistake. An accidental ctrl-Q is much worse, because closed incognito windows can't be recovered.
- School-Cotton 2y agoI think all the major browsers can be configured to prompt before quitting.
- derkades 2y agoFirefox prompts by default
- thaumasiotes 2y agoWhile true, that's a very recent change.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSorta, kinda, maybe? Even the one shipped with Debian/Ubuntu? Firefox gave me plenty of scars over the years. CTRL-Q and CTRL-W are just two; another's the fear of the browser randomly going "updates have been installed, you're not allowed to do anything until you restart; shame about that unsaved work you had on the page we just blanked" shit that used to fly on Ubuntu. (Maybe still does? I browse from Windows nowadays.)
- int_19h 2y agoI'm mildly surprised because it's been adopted fairly universally for multi-document / multi-tab apps. E.g. most editors with tabs will also use it to close the current document.
