Comment 12 for bug 30357

I think this bug should be reopened for gedit. I'm using dapper (dist-upgraded daily) and I'm using the default gtk behaviour.

When I type Ctrl+q in gedit it's supposed to close, but it doesn't. It selects the whole text instead, as Ctrl+a would (and does). I'm in Belgium but using an US keyboard (I bought my laptop in the USA).

locale shows

iceman@Kamui:~ $ locale
LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr_BE:fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Furthermore, Ctrl+w doesn't behave as expected either: it should close one tab, but it has no effect at all!

There's therefore absolutely no keyboard shortcut to close gedit quickly, which is a big usability problem.
