[texworks] Close not Quit?

[David Perry]

OK, I did miss the obvious.  I notice now that when TeXworks starts 
there is actually a blank, untitled document open; so the close (= quit) 
behavior makes a little more sense.  As an enhancement for a future 
version, though, I think it would be nice to have TeXworks behave more 
like many apps in this regard.  Both Word and OpenOffice Writer, for 
instance, start with a blank document that you can close without leaving 
the app.

Why would this be useful?  I have a long document with several \include 
commands.  I wanted to close the subdocument I was editing and then open 
the master document to typeset, so I hit Ctrl-W, thinking it would just 
close the file and let me open another one.  That's what got me thinking 
about this.
