Ctrl + W closes the terminal

[misgeatgit]

When typing Ctrl + W inside vim, the terminal closes.

At least it would be a good idea to be able to switch the shortcuts via config-file. I just edited the accelerators.js file manually (removed the 'W' at Close Session)

Edit:
Even if you edit the file, Ctrl+W is not working in Vim (On Windows).

Also

• Opening the terminal and typing Ctrl + d closes the terminal.
• Unable to delete the last line with Ctrl + k as in bash shell.

Are you using Windows?

I have the strange feeling that no shortcut with the Ctrl key is working..

[misgeatgit]

@annnoo I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.

[annnoo]

@misgeatgit Oh okay. I just thought that this is maybe a Windows only problem.

Opening the terminal and typing Ctrl + d closes the terminal.

This is a standard shortcut on all terminal emulators I'm aware of...

In Arch + Hyper & nvim Ctrl+w close terminal 😓

[misgeatgit]

@parro-it You are correct about Ctrl + d, my bad.

[annnoo]

Ctrl + W is closing the current session. If you have only one session/window open it will close the whole program, because there aren't any other sessions left.

I guess the two main problems are

1. Making it possible to change the shortcuts via settings file
2. Ctrl-key is not working in applications inside of Hyper

Hi, I've put in a pull request that hopefully addresses this issue here: #1191 . It would make the default mod key into Ctrl+Shift on Windows and Linux so that there are no longer conflicts with CLI apps using Ctrl shortcuts.

It does not make the mod key configurable in hyper.js, but I think there's another patch in the works for that.

Feedback is helpful! The pull request is surely not perfect.

I would request you to add desired keybinding for linux in comments at ppot#11

Again, this happens on my Windows too.

Hi guys,

I'm just sayin this is pretty much crucial thing. If I could somehow (read quickfix) disable all hyper shortcuts, that would do the trick (for now).

Ctrl W close the terminal also on fedora 25 in nano.

[jnardiello]

I agree, this is a real issue for any linux power user. Expected behaviour for ctrl + w is to cancel latest word, not to end the session.

[aditya-konarde]

+1 for this issue. Haven't looked into how the hyperterm application is built yet, but if its using electron, the terminal emulator is actually running in a BrowserWindow instance, which has ctrl+w as the default shortcut for close tab.
