Ctrl + W allows to select the word, then the sentence, around your cursor inside a JetBrains software.

Ctrl + W allows you to FUCKING close the current tab in any FUCKING web browser

Related to keyboard shortcuts, why does chrome and Firefox include ctrl+shift+Q shortcut to close the browser instead of alt+f4?

I work with OSX and Windows, that's where the shortcut struggle really begins.
Especially when your Keyboard has a German layout, you live in Switzerland but you type in US.
Windows+L for example searches or locks your screen.

That’s why most modern IDEs including KetBrains offer you to select keyboard shortcuts layout on startup like Visual Studio, Eclipse etc...

Aaand C-w is used to cut text in emacs.

@DrPitLazarus Because browsers are under the impression that they are the universe and have no need for such trivialities as operating system conventions.

and ctrl+shift+t allows you to reopec recently closed tabs B-)

@lun0 well I said "maj" but it should have been "shift" I guess

And CTRL+SHIFT+T brings it back. You're welcome

@Awlex please read both my tags and two comments before yours 😂

@hugh-mungus why do I learn about this only now 😢

I always change all of my key commands in intelliJ software when I first get it

@DrPitLazarus guess who decided to remove F buttons from their keyboards =D

@Drillan767 wtf is maj?

@Awlex -> shift in english I guess (majuscule in french)
