We should let confirm users closing the IDE. As many seem to be used to closing editor tabs with ctrl+w (see e.g. https://lacourt.dev/2019/03/07/#closing-files).
Maybe we get the key event before the beforeClose and can base the decision on that.
馃憤 took me more than a month to unlearn the CTRL-W reflex.
馃憤 I know many people who can't use cloud IDEs because they compulsively hit Ctrl+W all the time.

Hello,
for me if I press Ctrl+W, the browser tab is closed directly without any prompt.
I am using Chrome Version 80.0.3987.87 (64 bits) under Windows 10.
Same here on Chrome and macOS
