Why did Adobe change this shortcut?
Hi!
Does any body know why Adobe changed the way one close open windows with keyboard shortcuts?
This is what i mean:
In Ppro 1.x you could close any open window, such as the Capture Window, with Ctrl+F4. In PPro 2.0 you cant close open windows with Ctrl+F4, you have to use Alt+F4. So if i want to close the Capture panel in PPro 2.0 i have to use Alt+F4.And if i pop over to Photoshop CS2 and want to close one of two open images, Alt+F4 closes the whole application instead of the open image. Kind of confusing imo…
Wouldn’t it be better that all Adobe apps has the same shortcut for closing open windows, just like they had in previous versions of PPro?
Alt+F4 is a “close-the-whole-application” command and Ctrl+F4 is a “close-the-open-window-that-has-focus” command in my world.

The reason this happened is because of the docked panel interface of Premiere Pro 2.0. Since, the new version is using docked panels, you can’t close each individual window with a short cut.

You can’t close windows because they are no longer windows. They are panels. Sorry.

but the capture dialog is still a window, and when you tear a panel off it becomes a window.

Aanarav, if the Capture panel is undocked you can close it with a keyboard shortcut, Alt+F4. All floating, undocked panels can be closed with Alt+F4.
But why did Adobe change it from Ctrl+F4 to Alt+F4?
