"Close" keybinding
Hi, is there any way to program a close keybinding for Calibre or the built-in reader? I'd like to use it to close windows and the built-in reader.

Currently Command-W does not do anything and I don't want to use Command-Q, as it quits the program.

Thank you!

That was a typical OS default. Doesn't a MAC have one (possibly the same)?

Given there's nothing in Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts, apart from Quit, it's reasonable to assume the answer is - "No".

But I wouldn't have thought calibre would usurp a well known shortcut like Cmd+W. Does Cmd+M work?

There is no difference between close window and quit in calibre. Closing the window quits the application and vice versa. Every viewer instance is its own separate application so you can quit it without affecting any other open viewer windows.
