One of our authors was wondering if 

CTRL+w

can be mapped to something else in editor or removed.

 

When trying to select using 

CTRL+E

they are closing the active window.

 

Thanks Bryon

Thanks Clay, does this need to be put into an acl and in the init folder?

If you want it to apply for everyone, then that's probably easiest. If you already have an init.acl startup file, you can just add it to the existing file.

 

If you discover that it doesn't work from init.acl, you may need to move it to a file in editinit instead, so it will load later in the startup process.

 

If someone just wants a quick fix for the current session, they can just type it into the command window.
