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.
Imagine the organization which can not assign "CTRL+W" to close the window in their flagship development product for a decade or more. Actually much more than a decade. This is not a snarky comment. I am just amazed users need an non-trivial community effort to solve that.
