prevent ctrl+w from closing tab

[herrgahr]

I guess it's not possible to catch the ctrl+w shortcut before the browser interprets it, but would it be possible to show a "leave this page?" confirmation dialog to prevent the good old muscle memory from screwing up ones work?

Will definitely add this!

Can you use Ctrl + W to close editor tabs or some other VSCode functions?
And I think it's better to close browser tab (maybe with confirmation) if any editor tabs are opened.

Hotkey should be consistent with VSCode to get an immersive experience.

Will definitely add this!

Important to have a page in the documentation listing all the default code-server shortcuts

Right now when I press Ctrl + W it closes the browser tab, instead of closing the file. Since I used to close files using this in real VS Code, we need to find a solution for this

[gijo-varghese]

we could use something like

window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
    // Cancel the event
    e.preventDefault();

    // Chrome requires returnValue to be set
    e.returnValue = 'Really want to quit the game?';
};

It doesn't prevent from closing, but at least show you an additional confirmation

Fixed with #463.

It totally closes the tab for me.
