For example, Alt-F2 Alt-F4 to Force Close a window as suggested in the brainstorm item. Or something like CTRL-F2 CTRL-F4 to Force Close a tab/image in GIMP. To contrast with Close: An image with unsaved changes can be closed via CTRL-W (Close) and ALT-W (Confirm) The difference to Force Close is that the latter works unconditionally, also for images whithout unsaved changes. This saves you from thinking about the saved/unsaved state -- in case you are absolutely sure that the data can be discarded. best regards, yahvuu _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
