Entry in menu or shortcut to quit sabaki

[rekstein]

Hi there,

First of all, thank you all for this great piece of software. Sabaki is neat and fantastic.

As I use a tiling window manager in GNU/Linux (i3wm) without UI border (ie. without a cross in an upper corner to close the window), I can't close Sabaki via a menu entry or a shortcut (ex. ctrl+w or alt+F4).
Thus I have to directly kill the Sabaki process. It's not really clean and convenient.
It would be great if quitting will be possible directly from Sabaki itself and not by killing its process or it's window.

Thank you by advance!
Regards,

Does your tiling window manager not have a shortcut to close windows? Normally, Alt+F4 closes a window as implemented by the OS.

Unfortunately none of the classic shortcuts (ie. ctrl+w ; ctrl+q ; ctrl+x ; ctrl+c ; ctrl+z ; alt+F4 etc.) work with Sabaki.
They work with other applications but not with Sabaki.

When I list processes related to Sabaki I have:

F S UID          PID    PPID  C PRI  NI ADDR SZ WCHAN  STIME TTY          TIME CMD

This is when I launch a single instance of Sabaki.
Thus I have to kill the first one (PID 1481 in this case) and not the second one which is called simply 'sabaki' (PID 1484 in this case), maybe it is the reason why classic shortcuts don't work.

Under Ubuntu, standard shortcuts (except Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Q which I do not consider standard) work as expected last time I checked. So maybe this is missing from your Linux distribution? I guess we can have an extra menu entry under 'File' to exit the application with Ctrl+Q under Linux and Windows, but I can't do anything about all the standard shortcuts.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I encounter this problem only with Sabaki.
Maybe we can give a try with an extra menu entry under 'File' as you suggest it.
Nevertheless I made a small shell script binded to a global shortcut to exit Sabaki.

I can likely work on adding a 'Quit' option under 'File' if there is a consensus that doing so is necessary.

Thank you all!
