Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Run Keybase client Version 3.1.2-20190312142912+4c383e6a53 (3.1.2-20190312142912+4c383e6a53 on macOS 10.14.3
  2. Close the Keybase client by pressing Command+W
Current behaviour
  1. Keybase client closes and the icon on the dock is removed. (Same behaviour as Quitting a macOS app, i.e. pressing Command+Q). The top bar icon remains.
Expected behaviour
  1. Keybase client should close on CMD+W, but not Quit. I.e. the dock icon should persist, as this is the expected behaviour of Mac apps.
Side note

Thanks for an awesome application and service. Quickly becoming an integral part of my workflow. ❤️

Research direction

Start by locating the Keybase client’s macOS handling for Command+W and compare its behavior with Command+Q. Reproduce the issue on macOS 10.14.3 using the reported client version, then verify that Command+W closes the client window while the dock icon remains and the top bar icon is preserved.
