Adds support for (hidden) Ctrl-Q in file-roller (700 bytes, patch)

Description Michael Gauthier 2008-04-10 03:05:07 UTC 
Ctrl-Q should quit file-roller. Most other Gnome applications (Gedit, Character Map, Evolution, Calculator, games, etc) use Ctrl-Q to quit. File Roller uses Ctrl-W.

Hi,
I disagree with this bug report: File-roller uses Ctrl-W to "Close" the archive, and not to quit the application (the main difference being if you have several archives opened at the same time). So this is conform with the gnome HIG http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-standard.html.en

One could regret still that pressing Ctrl-Q does nothing. I would suggest to either add another entry to the menu for closing the application (but that would probably clutter the menu for not much usefulness) or, better, to add a "hidden" accelerator Ctrl-Q which does quit the whole application (useful for power-users who know by heart the shortcuts).

Adds support for (hidden) Ctrl-Q in file-roller

Here is my implementation for the proposal to support Ctrl-Q (without menu entry, so just for power users). The patch is against svn trunk.

Eric,

I've modified your patch to close the window instead of quitting the application, so basically now Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-W do the same thing.

Thanks.
