ability to configure Ctrl + W behavior

[mbektas]

fixes #436

[ltalirz]

Just out of curiosity: do you think it would be possible to get something like this to work also in the browser version of Jupyterlab?

Ctrl+W is a very common shortcut in the bash terminal (delete previous word), and I cannot count the number of times I have accidentally closed the jupyterlab tab.

I know there are web sites that manage to pop up a dialogue when the user tries to close them; could this be possible in jupyterlab as well?

Thanks a lot for the update! I've been really looking forward to the fix. Can I ask a really simple question? I'm following #606 but I can't find the setting in my JupyterLab-Desktop. I'm using Version 3.6.2-1 (3.6.2-1). See below for screenshots of my "Advanced Settings Editor" under "Settings".

I searched for "Bahavior" in settings but couldn't find it either.

Could you please let me know where to find the setting for this?

Never mind. Found it!

@mbektas Where did you find it? I see "Close Tab" and "Close and Shutdown" in the Keyboard shortcuts section, but neither of those are mapped to Command+W.

@AnilRh it is in Settings dialog which you can access from menu button (hamburger icon) on top right of any session window.

Thanks @mbektas - I think it would have taken me quite some time to find that menu! Hamburgers and Macs don't go well together ;)
