We had an extraneous window-menu item that was bound to Ctrl+W. Some kind of precedence rules caused it to trigger in Linux but not OSX. Fixed now.

Thanks everybody! Sorry for doubting you :smile:

Thanks for reporting! We'll check into it.

IMO that's only true if the last tab is closed.

Try:

  • Open several tabs
  • type Ctrl-W

tested with latest v0.7 branch from 2.May.2017

Echoing @pmario comment for Beaker 0.8 (54f8323301781839ad01f9c0549325ed9e494c99) on Fedora. Isn't it default behavior across browsers to close the window with CTRL+W if it's the last tab (except Opera in my experience)?

Yes, @morganrallen did you have other tabs open? If not, then the browser is supposed to close if you closed the last tab

I am running Linux (Debian Stretch) with the latest stable Beaker (0.7.7), and pressing CTRL+W will close the entire window regardless of the number of tabs. Typically, pressing CTRL+W will only close the active tab in most browsers.

Ok weird stuff. I'll double check my build on ubuntu, because it does what you'd expect for ctrl+w.

I'm also having the same problem on Xubuntu 16.04 and Beaker 0.7.7!

@pfrazee as others reported, I had multiple tabs open.

Do I need to add something to config?

I have done a git pull, and npm rebuild but the 0.7.9 still close the whole window instead of current tab.

Try running npm run burnthemall then npm start. If that doesnt solve it, LMK what distro you're using.

solved (:
