In Tools | Options | Keyboard...
- Add
CTRL+W
as a Global shortcut forWindow.CloseDocumentWindow
- Remove the
CTRL+W
shortcut forEdit.SelectCurrentWord
The caveat to this is if you are used to using CTRL+W
to select the current word. If you do, find another shortcut that works for that.
7 years after you posted it, yet I've been banging my head against this for years. Thank you.
