views cannot be closed without titlebar

[Joern Ungermann]

Some window (tiling) managers do not display titlebars for normal applications. There is currently no way of closing a view in such a setup.

Solution: Add a common key such as Ctrl+w for closing the view.

ALT + F4 working ?

[Joern Ungermann]

ALT+F4 does not work for linux. My window manager has a key combination specific to it that closes windows, which works. However, ctrl+w for closing windows and ctrl+q for closing the whole application is a rather common scheme. Ctrl+q is implemented in the mainwindow and might be implemented in the view-windows.

ALT+F4 works in my linux setup, I have to activate the window I want to close first.

This also works with the main gui, for me.

How have you tried with linux?

[Reimar Bauer]

We may want to replace CTRL+Q by ALT +F4, as this always works.

[Joern Ungermann]

Always is a strong word. On my linux system and my window manager (awesome), Alt+F4 does not work. There are different standards. I would assume that some keys are defined by the window managers, both under Linux and Windows Alt+F4 sounds like such a combination. This will send the same signal to the QT application as pushing the "close" button and is thus supported out-of-the-box.

However. Many Applications support ctrl+W and ctrl+Q in addition. Especially ctrl+w is very often used for closing sub-windows.This is not a OS-features, but an application feature.

I also added a fix already in pull request #590 where I apparently forgot to close this issue in the commit message.
