Closed as not planned

Describe the request

Other Windows and Linux applications use CTRL+W to close the current editor tab. I found it a bit jarring to see the Arduino IDE quit when I tried to close an editor tab I was no longer using. I would prefer to follow convention and use CTRL+Q, or the typical key combination on all platforms, to quit the IDE.

Describe the current behavior

When I press CTRL+W, the IDE quits.
