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.
@jpoehls - OH MY GOD! Thank you so much for that! I've been screaming for years how to get that to work, CTRL-W was File Close so I removed that and changed Window.CloseDocumentWindow to CTRL-W and it never worked! I was like WTF!!?!?!?! I saw this post, removed the assignment to stupid select word (who doesn't use CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow to select words????) Thank you so much!
