For mac it usually works like this:
Cmd-Q = quit

Click on red corner button = Cmd-W close window but don't quit

But calibre kind of has it messed up
Cmd-Q = quit
Cmd-W = nothing
Click on red corner button = Cmd-Q quit

Most of the time I don't want to quit, I just want to close the window but leave it running but not visible so the book server can stay up. It'd be nice if it followed the usual mac conventions.
Macs have it wrong
They don't have a CONTROL key , even the antique KSR-33 (commonly used as minicomputer input terminal when they were not spewing AP wire service copy) had one of these.

They don't have a Windows key

Calibre uses QT5 toolkits for the GUI

Windows does not have a Top and a Bottom when right-clickin' scroll bars. Calibre (and Sigil) do.

Who is wrong?? Neither... Just different
