How to configure the Howl text editor to quit at pressing Ctrl+X?
The command is already there, but one needs to Press Alt+X and then
'q' and Enter. Those are four keystrokes, I would like to reduce it to two.

          Ctrl-X is set to editor-cut, but check the Howl Faq. There is an example to set the exit command to Ctrl-Q to exit, so following that, it's probably this in the ~/.howl/init.moon file:



          howl.bindings.push { ctrl_x: 'quit' }

            I solved this by pressing Alt+F4, which was the same key combo I have used on TextAdept. Anyway, it would be interesting to have some answers other than mine.

            • Alt+F4 is a key combination capture by the window manager, that sends the close event to the app, it is not a configured key in the editor.
