Regarding the Ctrl+F4 shortcut in another thread @DHowett made the following remark:

That binding's not supposed to work unless you go into your settings and explicitly bind it yourself. That it does work anywhere without it being bound explicitly is the bug I'd rather fix. 😄

Indeed, I think that is a bug that should be fixed as it is confusing for the user that a mouseover on the tabs suggests to use a shortcut that doesn't work.

Possible solutions would be to either set Ctrl+F4 to the standard or just change the mouseover to a message that hints at the non-set shortcuts or/and advise to do so in settings.

That it _does_ work anywhere without it being bound explicitly is the bug I'd rather fix. :smile: Indeed, I think that is a bug that should be fixed as it is confusing for the user that a mouseover on the tabs suggests to use a shortcut that doesn't work.
