Description Riccardo Robecchi 2025-07-09 09:00:17 UTC
SUMMARY
The "ctrl+q" shortcut is normally used to quit an application so that all of its windows are closed simultaneously (see for example Firefox or LibreOffice). Dolphin does not do this and it instead treats ctrl+q as an alternative to alt+F4, so it only closes the active window. If there are multiple tabs open, it shows a dialogue that asks the user whether they would like to close the entire window, to close the selected tab or to do nothing. The text for the first option is however "quit Dolphin", which would lead one to believe that it would actually *quit Dolphin* and therefore close *all* windows.
The text should therefore be changed to represent the actual action being carried out, which is "close current window", similarly to "close current tab".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open multiple tabs
2. Press ctrl+q

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin misleadingly asks whether to "quit Dolphin".

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin asks whether to close the current window.
