Hi all. When handling several config files in thunar, I'm miss a feature of notepad2 that allows the configuration of the editor to close/minimize on hitting "esc" key. This isn't too biggie (I guess) to add to mousepad, however will be very useful for a bunch of us. Thank you.
Maybe a checkbox within the menu bar that permits Mousepad to close when the escape key is pressed?
I'm not sure about this. Linux DEs platform conventions usually allow closing windows by hitting Alt+F4, Ctrl+Q, or Ctrl+W. IMHO there should not be workarounds like this for a single app, but you could try redefining the "Quit" key to Esc in your window manager properties. Wontfix?

As I mentioned it before, it would be useful for some of us (specially for me ;-) ), however that's more of a facility than a meaningful feature. I'd vote +1 for implementation, however I won't cry if it is marked as wontfix. No worries. Thank you very much.
I think another way is to use gtkrc accelerators stuff to trigger the Quit action. I'd probably be +1 for a patch making sure this is possible and properly exposed for the "new" Mousepad in Git master branch but I don't think having a GUI option for it is worthwhile for such a simple application. I'll change status to resolved-wontfix but if someone has any reports/patches for code in Git master branch, to make sure the GTK+/WM accelerators stuff is exposed and works, go ahead and submit.
