Steps to reproduce:
Hi,
at the moment the shortcut ctrl+w is reserved (key_close and key_closeWindow in browser-sets.inc). This is pretty annoying for webapplications with custom keybindings like codemirror-editor (vim-mode) or browser games.
Actual results:
JS applications are not able to overwrite the keybinding. So Crtl+w always closes the focused tab.
Expected results:
It should at least be possible to overwrite the keybinding by addons like Shortkeys or to patch the browser-sets.inc after building.

It's better to be able to use that browser reserved keys in Firefox too.
