#10 Ctrl-W closes window

[Anonymous]

The Ctrl-W combo closes the active shell.

I use the Ctrl-W sequence to move between multiple windows in VIM.

For a terminal emulator, capturing Ctrl-<any character> is probably not a great idea.

It would be nice if I could turn off Ctrl-W processing by PowerShell,
so that it can be passed on to VIM.

I have this problem too (which makes deletions in Emacs
difficult), and I also have a problem where ctl-q closes
powershell completely. This means you can't do flow control
with ctl-s/ctl-q.
I don't think this is a problem with powershell itself; it
seems to reside in one of the libraries it uses. I know it
didn't appear until a month or so ago, just after I
upgraded an assortment of libraries (but not powershell).
Perhaps somebody decided it'd be a good idea to emulate
Lose-dows' (probably TM) shortcuts without telling anybody.

OK, so I was wrong. Serves me right for not RTFM. You can
change keyboard shortcuts with Edit/Preferences->Keyboard.
Changing the 'close' shortcut to "alt-w" and the quit
shortcut to "alt-q" worked for me.
