disable Ctrl w

[quantum-booty]

Ctrl w closes the qt console, is it possible to remap/disable it?

Hey @quantum-booty, that shortcut comes from QtGui.QKeySequence.Close, since it's a standard way to define such action cross-platform:

I'd advise you not to attempt to override widely known/used shortcuts for Qt-based applications,
but if you really want to know where this is, you can look on the qtconsole/mainwindow.py file, where the action is defined:

        self.close_action=QtWidgets.QAction("&Close Tab",                                           
            self,                                                                                   
            shortcut=QtGui.QKeySequence.Close,                                                                                                                                                                       
            triggered=self.close_active_frontend                                                    
            )

Thank you, I commented out that block of code. Now Ctrl+w is disabled.
