Shortcut key for "Close tab and save to corral"

[boxfoot]

I'm finding that I use the feature to close a tab and move it to the corral a lot - it's helpful when I want to deal with X in a couple hours - worth getting out of my way, but not worth creating a bookmark for.

It's currently a lot of clicks to find. Would be great if there could be a keyboard shortcut for that. Since CTRL-W is "Close Tab," maybe "CTRL-SHIFT-W"?

I know this issue was opened a long time ago, but since it was referenced recently I believe it's worth mentioning that Ctrl+Shift+W is the shortcut for closing the current window. Also, according to the docs,

Certain Chrome shortcuts (e.g. window management) always take priority over Extension Command shortcuts and can not be overwritten.

@edjroot Ctrl+Shift+W would work on MacOS because the shortcut for closing the current window is Cmd+Shift+W. Are you a Windows or Linux user? What would be appropriate on those platforms?

[edjroot]

Hmm, I didn't know that! I use both Linux and Windows and all shortcuts are the same for them (and I guess Mac too, except it's always Cmd in place of Ctrl). I don't have any particular suggestion, but it's probably a good idea to use the same combinations across OSs anyway.

I'm going to go with Ctrl+Space+W. The hand position feels quite natural since your thumb is resting on the spacebar.

I chose the following shortcuts to start:

Mac: Ctrl+Shift+W
Other: Ctrl+Shift+E

These are configurable by going to chrome://extensions/configureCommands in Chrome. If you have a more suitable suggestion for a default for Windows or Linux, I'm happy to change the default.

It's fine by me!
