Sophie Hernandez
SUMMARY (your need in one sentence)
As a feature request I want a shortcut to the current window so that I can
return to a previous page or home, and not have a stack up of unused open
windows.
GIVE US CONTEXT (tell us about the current experience)
When I am in a github page for example, and Iām finished with that page, Iād
like a shortcut to just close the page, rather than switching out or using the
mouse to X out the window.
PROVIDE DETAILS (tell us what you are looking to change)
Iād like a shortcut for closing the current page.
DESCRIBE THE IMPACT (how would it change your experience)
The main advantages for me are:
it allows for fast context switching
It saves time by removing the need to clean up unused pages later

Can this shortcut be added? I usually open 10 google docs and I cant find a
way to close it with keyboard. Maybe something like CMD+W(CTRL+W on windows)
in chrome that closes tabs. Window-> Close works only for detached windows and
doesnāt have shortcut. Only option to close is āxā button when hovering google
drive icon and pop-up menu is shown with all opened docs.

So you guys know we are currently working on this and will release it soon!
Iāll keep you posted

This does not even sound like a feature but a āmust haveā for navigation to
me. Station feels almost unusable to me, without the most basic shortcuts that
I use in all other apps!

I agree. Cmd-W to close the current tab/page in the active application would
be a huge time saver. Having to go to the mouse to click is time consuming.
When you have many, many documents open in Google Drive then you may need to
even scroll and find the current document/bolded item which could require
scrolling. Cmd-T/Quick Picker is not good enough yet at returning the results
I need and sometimes I just need to open a doc to see if it is the correct
one. Being able to immediately close it with a key combo when I realize it
isnāt the document I needed would be huge.

The max productivity gain for me would be with Google Drive, sometimes I just
open a document, and quickly glance through and close it. Quick Switch works
well for opening, but I wish it would close easily with a keyboard shortcut.
The result is tons of open docs making it harder to find the one you want.

SUMMARY (your need in one sentence)
As a user, I would like to be able to use a keyboard shortcut to close the
currently visible open document/tab.
GIVE US CONTEXT (tell us about the current experience)
Itās quick to open documents, but I find the application sub-lists to be
continually cluttered with documents that I no longer care about or are not my
immediate attention. I would like to remove them quickly, just like how Cmd+W
will close tabs in a browser.
PROVIDE DETAILS (tell us what you are looking to change)
Add Cmd+W as a shortcut to close the current tab. Donāt allow it to close the
applicationās main view (Gmailās Home, Driveās Home, etc).
DESCRIBE THE IMPACT (how would it change your experience)
The main advantages for me are:
Faster, simpler, better control of tabs and documents that are open.

SUMMARY Keyboard shortcut to close an applicationās current pane
I would love Station to have the browser equivalent of Cmd+W
GIVE US CONTEXT (tell us about the current experience)
Take this example. Iām in Gmail reading a message and I click on a Google Doc
link someone sent me. It opens in Station and takes me right to it. After Iām
done reading this Google Doc I want to close it (Cmd+W) and have it take me
back to whatever thing I was doing before that.
Right now, after Iām done reading I end up press Cmd+1 which takes me back to
my Gmail application but I accumulate a ton of Google Docs. This exact same
thing happens a lot with Trello where Iām clicking a link of a Trello card
that someone emails to me.
PROVIDE DETAILS (tell us what you are looking to change)
Iād like to be able to close an applicationās window with Cmd+W
DESCRIBE THE IMPACT (how would it change your experience)
The main advantages for me are:
I would be able to work faster without having to use the mouse as much
I would accumulate fewer open application windows
