Describe the solution you'd like?
Hotkey: cmd + shift + w should close a window (all tabs)

I think this is a general feature of most applications that have tabs. I use it in Chrome and VS Code. I love hotkeys and this one would be great when switching projects.

PS Love the app. Keep up the great work!

Research direction

The request concerns Warp's desktop window and tab shortcut handling; begin by locating existing Cmd+Shift shortcuts and the code that closes a tab or window. Done means Cmd+Shift+W closes the current window and all its tabs without affecting other windows, with relevant shortcut behavior covered by tests if available.
