Description

Per https://github.com/zeit/hyper/blob/master/app/keymaps/win32.json, there is no shortcut to close tabs.

Adding "tab:close": "ctrl+w", to keymaps doesn't work.

Could you please add a "tab: close" shortcut?

Hyper 3 Canary 8, Windows 10.0.18860.0, can't see this reported in any other issue.

Research direction

Start with app/keymaps/win32.json and inspect how its keymap entries are consumed, since adding "tab:close" there reportedly has no effect. Reproduce the issue on Windows with ctrl+w, then verify that the shortcut closes the active tab without affecting other tab behavior.
