FIle | Close shortcut does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open a new project
2. In the File main menu see the menu item Close has a shortcut (on Mac) of 
command-W.
3. Press command-W and see that a) the Window menu flashes and b) nothing 
happens -- the file remains open.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What I expect is that the shortcut to close the file would be shift-command-W, 
and that when I press shift-command-W the file will close (that is, will do 
exactly the same as using menu item File > Close).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.3.4 on OS X 10.6.7

In addition to the comments above this feature would be v useful for scripting 
the program to batch process a number of documents.

Mac-specific issue. File->Close should be removed from the menu.

Since Sigil uses a single-document GUI model, File->Close doesn't actually mean 
anything, as each instance of Sigil can have one, and only one, document open. 
I'm guessing that, on the Mac, selecting File->Close from the menu has exactly 
the same result as File->New and that the option shouldn't even appear.

I don't see how this would impact scripting GUI commands, since File->Close is 
essentially meaningless and you should be scripting File->Save, File->Open 
instead.

OS X uses a slightly different document model than Windows. The close button is 
there to close the window it self in case multiple are open without quitting 
Sigil completely. The issue is the Cmd+W short cut is also mapped to the Close 
Tab action.
