Feature: Add the ability to close all tabs with Ctrl+Shift+W #16414

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Similar to #16346

Files already has the (browser-like) functionality to close the current tab with Ctrl+W, open a new tab with Ctrl+T, restore a previously closed tab with Ctrl+Shift+T and open a new window with Ctrl+N, but a way to take this one step further is by adding Ctrl+Shift+W which is already a feature in Edge and allows the user to close all tabs at once. This is different from pressing the Close caption button in the top right or pressing Alt+F4 because this does not restore the tabs on startup as it closes each one individually.

Requirements

Files Version

3.7.11.0

Windows Version

10.0.22631.4391

Thank you for the feedback

As far as adding this option to the menu, I think there is some overlap with #7501.

Adding such a button wasn't the original meaning of my issue as much as the keyboard bind itself: Ctrl+Shift+W is a basic functionality for any tab-based app, much like Ctrl+W and Ctrl+T.

Let's focus on the keyboard shortcut and action.
