Originally created by @theking2 on GitHub (Dec 29, 2022).

Description of the new feature/enhancement

There is the standard Alt+F4 to close the window and various other Tab manipulating commands but nothing to close the current tab (Ctrl+F4)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add command to the palate and assign Ctrl+F4 as the standard key

If you go to settings/actions you should be able to see some available close commands that should help

Just make sure to assign ctrl+f4 to the "Close Tab" action, save it and then you'll have the behaviour you're asking for.

Hope that helps.

In the German language version this is missing. Should I file a bug here?

It would be called "Registrierkarte schliessen"

@theking2, only bound actions are shown by default in Settings > Actions.

Close tab / Registerkarte schließen is not bound by default, so you need to click + Add new / Neu hinzufügen and assign it the desired key chord.

However, note that Close pane / Bereich schließen is bound by default, namely to Ctrl-Shift-W, and for any tab that contains only one pane (which is the default), closing that one pane also closes the entire tab.

@mklement0 commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2023): @theking2, only _bound_ actions are shown by default in `Settings > Actions`. `Close tab` / `Registerkarte schließen` is _not_ bound by default, so you need to click `+ Add new` / `Neu hinzufügen` and assign it the desired key chord.

Yep, this is all correct. Binding closePane is generally preferred over closeTab, because it's slightly more versatile like that. Feel free to rebind it to whatever you'd like!
