"In for a long and bumpy ride"? I've been on it ever since computers were
invented.

This problem situation does not arise very often, it's true.

When it DOES happen, sod's law says that it will be disastrous.

The time taken to 'pursue this little detail' is far less costly than the
time it can take to compose a single time-sensitive email (for instance).

I believe that it makes perfect sense to try to discover a solution to such
a situation; finding one will not only enable me to avoid a needless
irritation, it will also enable me to assist others who are in the same boat.

Thinks: why is it that whenever someone points out that something is flawed,
there are always many people who delight in claiming that it isn't?

I never use CTRL+W to close all windows.

I don't ever want to use it.

When I press it by mistake it sometimes results in loss of whatever
I've been working on, with no warning, and no recovery.

Naturally, I want to disable this annoying shortcut.

How can I do this?

I've searched and cannot find anything that tells me how to do this
(it even took a while before I found a reference to the CTRL+W
shortcut!).

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Spend the time you're using to persue this little detail instead for
improving your typing accuracy and you'll find yourself miles ahead of
the game. You're in for a long and bumpy ride if something that simple
bothers you that much, that often, etc. etc..
