Right now the user needs to manually exit the pane.

Doesn't that already happen with Ctrl + W? (or is a Pane not a Tab?)

@varemenos Panes and Tabs are not the same thing. Tabs are the top-level entity, that may host many panes. When you open a new tab, it has one pane in it by default. This pane can be split into many panes that all occupy the same tab. Take a look at this spec for more details.

Idea: Let's make Ctrl+W "ClosePane" by default, and closing the last pane closes the tab. Include a possibly-unbound-by-default "CloseTab". 😄

I like this idea SO MUCH that I'm going to do it next in my list of panes work.
