Mac OSX only) when window is hidden, window.on("close") not triggered on CMD + Q

[aretias-kr]

            mainWindow.on("close", function (event) {
                if (event == 'quit') {
                    myapp.windowHandler.quit();
                } else {
                    mainWindow.hide();
                }
            });

I'm using the code above to handling close event and cmd + q action.
normally this code works fine.
But after mainWindow hidden, close event is not triggered.

I know that I can avoid this issue to implement menu myself.
But I think it's wrong working.

I'm using this to create a global shortcut and it works even when the main window is hidden.

var gui = require('nw.gui');

var quitKeys = {
    key: "Ctrl+Q"
};

var shortcutQuit = new gui.Shortcut(quitKeys);


gui.App.registerGlobalHotKey(shortcutQuit);


shortcutQuit.on('active', function() {
   // quit your app
});

@PierBover Thanks, It seems nice solution.
But on MAC OS X, It is little wired cause application usually has quit menu on top status bar.

You can add menu items on the top bar too.

I'm having the same problem. When app is hidden/minimized, the osx app menu stays active. However the app cannot be quit when selecting menu->quit. Once the app is restored the menu->quit option works again. Other osx apps also leave the menu active when minimized, but it works just fine.
