→Pro: - Correction on IE7's Ctrl-W behaviour
* Precedent in other multi-tabbed browsers: This is how tab closing via Ctrl-W works in IE7, NetCaptor, and Opera, among others.
** ...but all these apps display a single-tab tab bar by default; Firefox does not. (see also related [[Ctrl_W_not_close_app#Behavior_dependent_on_tab_bar_visibility|proposal]] below)
** ...IE7 (released version) closes the app when using Ctrl-W to close the last tab
* Clarity: Closing the tab and closing the window are two very different things - one means "I'm done with the current block of information, but this app is still useful to me", and the other means "this entire app is no longer of any use to me" - they are conceptually different things. At the moment this is being muddied by having the meaning of Ctrl-W change between these two things, depending on context.
** ...but what if "I'm done with the current block of information, and the window is as useful as the documents it contains"? The proposal requires use of different keybindings case by case, when the same thing is meant.
