Command+W does not close window on Mac

[Former user]

Hi, would there be an easy way to implement this feature for Macs? Thanks!

@Samuel Gaist Thoughts?

Based on QTBUG-42242, it’s missing a Close Window menu entry with the corresponding shortcut associated.

As far as I understand, the fix is as simple as replacing:

void MainWindow::createActionShortcuts()
{
    /* ... */
    m_actions.sessionQuit->setShortcut(Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_Q);
    /* ... */
}

with something like:

void MainWindow::createActionShortcuts()
{
    /* ... */
    m_actions.sessionQuit->setShortcuts({Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_Q, QKeySequence::Close});
    /* ... */
}

I personally prefer the current behavior where Command+W does nothing. My understanding is that Command+W is for apps that have multiple panes or windows to close, like browser tabs or the Finder file manager. Since speedcrunch runs with a single instance and has no tabs or separate windows, I think the current behavior is expected.
