Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-08-27 18:38:49 UTC
Our new HIG say we should not do this.

Do not show Close in window menu

"Header bar menus shouldn't include a close menu item, since this action
is already provided by the header bar. It can also be ambiguous as to
what a close menu item refers to." -- the HIG

Review of attachment 284626 [details] [review]:

Rationale makes sense... Does Ctrl+W still work without the action?
I also think it might be a little too late for this to go in 3.14, but I'm open to the possibility.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2014-08-27 23:11:49 UTC
Nope, I broke Ctrl+W. Let's try this again....

I guess this probably would be more appropriate for 3.16, but I think it's not a big deal either way.  If you mark it accept-commit-after-freeze, I'll do that.

I think this can go in after freeze.
Comment 6 Robert Roth 2014-10-11 07:24:35 UTC
@Michael Catanzaro: we're after the freeze, I guess you could get the patch in master, as per the review.
Comment 7 Michael Catanzaro 2014-10-15 16:53:07 UTC
We have to branch first; are you ready for that, Cosimo?
Comment 8 Cosimo Cecchi 2014-10-16 01:39:53 UTC
Yes, branched and pushed now.

A small correction, this action isn't provided by header bar, because "Close" on menu doesn't close application, but tabs.
