O.K. Why does Alt+F4 not close TrackerV3 any more??

Is it a cunning way of stopping us from closing TrackerV3?

Oh cool, you're an Alt+F4-closer. That's style! 8)

Thanks. I didn't realise I could use Ctrl+Q until I went to the menu File | Exit. Alt+F4 is just habit I suppose.

Both are quite traditional. At least Win3.1, probably even DOS. Alt+X is another common one for Exit.
(Is there a history of shortcuts somewhere on the net?)

Ctrl+Q is in fact wasted here because Alt+F4 is the standard for closing a window. When I add a new feature starting with "Q" I will grab it away...

If you remember XTree (DOS), that used Q for quit. ZTreeWin still does, it has kept the original DOS XTree keyboard configuration.
