Alt+w shortcut is overridden by "match whole word" from Find/Replace

[echuber2]

It seems that although alt+w is supposed to close the current tab, this shortcut is held captive by the find/replace feature, mapped to its "match whole word" mode toggle.

I tried changing the "match whole word" shortcut setting to something else, and realized there doesn't seem to be a way to "unset" a given keybinding completely, only to rebind it. After rebinding it and testing alt+w again, I was able to close tabs, but it left behind a buggy empty tab with no text in it. Closing and reopening the workspace seemed to fix this.

@echuber2 thank you for the report, for issues related to the framework they should be opened in the main upstream repository. For the rebinding or removal of keybinding rules, we respect the same behavior as present in vscode:

If you are still experiencing issues, please open the issue upstream (if the issue does not already exist):
