qBittorrent & operating system versions
qbittorent: v5.2.0 via homebrew
OS: macOS Tahoe 26.4.1
What is the problem?
The new Ctrl+W search tab close shortcut added in 5.2.0 (#23747) doesn't work on macOS. Pressing Cmd+W (the macOS equivalent) closes the entire qBittorrent window instead of the search tab, and pressing the physical Ctrl+W does nothing.
Interestingly, Cmd+F4 (the other keybind for the "Close" shortcut) works fine and closes the tab as expected. I I believe the shortcut itself is registered correctly but Cmd+W gets swallowed by the window close handler before it reaches the tab.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Search tab
- Press Cmd+W
- The whole window closes instead of just the tab
Additional context
Expected behaviour: search tab closes, app stays open
Confirmed working: cmd+F4 closes the tab correctly, so the shortcut is wired up and working, just not reachable via Cmd+W.
Workaround: I used Karabiner-Elements and remapped Cmd+W to Cmd+F4 scoped specifically to qBittorrent. Caveat being this affects Cmd+W anywhere in the app, not just the search tab.
