A few times recently I believe I have hit an unintentional keystroke / chord which tells Chrome to quit. I don't think it shuts down due to malfunction, and I am able to restart right away and restore tabs, etc.

This occurs when I was trying to type normally into a text field, and I have the impression that I've hit some unidentified key combination that forces an exit.

Whatever it is causes Chrome to quit instantly. I don't usually run multiple windows so I'm not sure if it is truly "quitting" or just "closing" the current window which results in a process termination.

(Something LIKE Alt+F4 on Windows, or Ctrl+W - but neither of these in actuality).

Are there other key combinations which tells Chrome to close? Maybe I can work out what I am doing wrong.


Note: this is not the same as Google Chrome quits unexpectedly, which was some sort of error scenario.

According to Chrome Support:

  • Ctrl+Shift+W closes current Chrome window
  • Ctrl+Shift+Q closes all Chrome windows (this shortcut was removed in Chrome 70)
