Ask the user whether they want to quit, instead of close the window

[ben2talk]

I had to learn with Firefox a few tricks - I set mouse gestures for closing tabs, and the last tab closed the window - but with two windows it didn’t close the application…

So then I’d close the window, and have issues with sessions remembering the OTHER window and forgetting the one I’d closed… also pretty bad.

So we must learn CtrlQ will close the application… and we expect that this will close any remaining windows with that application.

However, this doesn’t seem to work with Dolphin - which is annoying… though we CAN get this from the context menu from the taskbar (I am not much of a mouser, I don’t like this to be the only option).

I disagree with your proposal though.

1. CtrlW to close tabs - the last tab closing just that window.
2. AltF4 should close the entire window, not the application.
3. CtrlQ should be set to quit the entire application.

With these shortcuts set consistently, then I see no problem here - so this should be filed as a Dolphin bug…

CtrlQ fails to quit the application.

However, I do believe that this is not actually recognised as a ‘universal’ shortcut… despite saying ‘Quit’ and despite Windows users being famous for thinking that to ‘X’ a window is to Quit the Application…

Plasma seems to be further muddying these waters… leaving the ‘Close All’ option only as a Taskbar function… and you can’t set ‘Close All’ in Dolphin keyboard settings.

Close all dolphin windows at once

I’m using Dolphin on KDE Neon (Plasma 5). I often find myself with multiple open Dolphin windows. Is there any way to quickly close all those windows with a single action? The fastest way I’ve found is to open the overview, search on dolphin and then individually click the “x” on each preview window.

This applies to MANY KDE applications.
