Using CTRL+W to close tabs in Visual Studio.md

In Tools | Options | Keyboard...

  1. Add CTRL+W as a Global shortcut for Window.CloseDocumentWindow
  2. Remove the CTRL+W shortcut for Edit.SelectCurrentWord

The caveat to this is if you are used to using CTRL+W to select the current word. If you do, find another shortcut that works for that.
