Description

**Describe the bug**
- CTRL+W doesn't work, it doesn't close Tabs.
- In the list of keybindings it's listed red, although no other keybinding has CTRL+W:

I'm pretty sure this bug was already happening some months ago and was fixed, but I can't find the issue for that, searching for CTRL+W doesn't help.

**Specifications:**
- OS: Win 10 64bit German
- Tiled Version: v.1.9.2.

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the behavior in the keybindings list and the tab interface on Windows, then trace the handling of CTRL+W and its conflict detection. Done means CTRL+W closes tabs and is no longer falsely marked as conflicting.
