Description Andrew Cowie 2006-11-10 07:19:27 UTC 
In Nautilus,  Shift+Ctrl+W is "close all parent windows", but
in Evolution, Shift+Ctrl+W is "open a *new* window"

This seems strange. I'm not sure who is «correct», but I would like to see if we can get the two groups talking to discuss a solution.

I realize full well that there are going to be accelerator conflicts, but from a desktop usability standpoint these are both every day applications and this really glares as an inconsistency for the user.

I would observe that Ctrl+W is "close [this] window" in both applications.

Open a new window is Ctrl+N in Nautilus, and I believe we're consistent with the rest of the desktop, so, looking also at the comments on the other report, I believe this is more an Evolution bug.
