Platform UI will be using the Cmd+W for closing the Dialogs in Mac (Bug# 94153) Its currently used by Help for the Close Tray command.

I'm wondering if it's even important for close help tray to have it's own key binding. I doubt that it is used very often if at all. Paul what do you think about just removing the key binding for close help tray.

I'm all for removing this keybinding.

Dani, what do you think?

I agree to remove M1/Ctrl/Cmd+W for closing the help tray, especially because Ctrl+W also closes windows (and editors) under Windows and hence no one would dare to hit this key binding to do something else ;-)
