The Problem

Currently there is no way to map Ctrl-W hotkey. If you trying to do this in keymaps, it will close the currently opened tabs (ignoring the keymaps settings popup).

I know this is basically can't be overridden in the browser, and the standalone app still the browser, but I know this is possible to disable/allow remapping this in the standalone (electrone-like apps).

How to Reproduce

Try to remap the Ctrl-W in settings.

Additional Context

Usually in terminals Ctrl-W deletes the current word, instead of closing the tab.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the Ctrl-W remapping attempt in the Windows desktop app and trace the settings and shortcut behavior from there. Done means Ctrl-W can be assigned as a keymap action and no longer closes the currently opened tabs.
