Hi again,
I don't know a way to solve your problem, but one trick that'll make
your current behavior a little nicer is Control + Option + W, which closes all open tabs, rather than jamming on Command + W.
That would be a help, but it's not working for me. Can you tell me where it is in the menus (I can't find it), so I can adjust it with Menu Master? Or if it's not in the menus, how do I get access to it?
There's a slip in the first-quoted message: it's control-COMMAND-w to close all tabs, and the menu it sits in is "File".
Cheers, Paul

Thanks, it works. But it's not in my menu - (which is why I didn't know about it, I think). - I only have "Close" (shift-Cmnd-W) and "Close Tab" (Cmnd-W). It's odd that it's in yours; maybe a version difference? (I have TM 1.5.7)
I've looked again at section 16.2/16.3 (Keybindings) and it's not mentioned there; and I can't see it in the Bundle Editor. Is there another, perhaps overall, listing of menu commands somewhere, where it is listed (maybe with other invisible ones)?
And can I perhaps instruct it to appear in the menu?
Without using Interface Builder! :-)

Press Ctrl while the menu is visible. Then wash and repeat with the other menus for more goodies ;). Try with option instead of ctrl as well. You can now perhaps imagine why this is not very clearly visible in Interface Builder.
16.2, caveat 2, in the manual sort of hints at these items.

Huh! Thank you! But a quick run through the menus adding Ctl and Option only showed five or six of these. If so, why not just list them on the menu as alternatives?-- It's not as though having a single extra item on the File menu will make it too long. Whereas:

I guess I needed a different kind of hint. Like, "Press ctl and/or option and look at the menus." ;-)
(Is this listed in the manual anywhere? I don't see it in the main keybindings lists in 16.3 or 16.4, or in the listed at "Keyboard Shortcuts Quick Reference" on the Apple site and/or the Rus list, which 16.3.1 refers us to.)
Regards,
Steven
