Release Notes v4.0.0 - 2021-07-25
Added
New configuration quitControl.closeTabShouldTryToCloseEmptyWindow, defaults to true. Toggle macOS-like behavior of closing an empty window with the same shortcut of closing a tab: Cmd+W (macOS); Ctrl+W (Linux and Windows); Ctrl+F4 (Windows).
(Linux and Windows) Preventing Alt+F4 from closing the window and prompting you instead. Consistent only on Windows for now, as VScode for Linux distros doesn't always support keybindings on Alt+F4.
(Windows) New configuration quitControl.enableQuitKeybindingOnWindows, defaults to true. Enables Ctrl+Q to quit VSCode on Windows.
Fixed
Enabling extension to work on Remote Containers without the need to install it again. From PR#29.
