Description

Heya{}

I'm using the Guacamole website to control a remote machine. Sometimes when I'm typing in a terminal, my muscle memory kicks in and I press CTRL+W to delete a word. Instead of deleting the word,  it closes the guacamole tab.

I see two ways to improve this:

• Forward CTRL + W to the remote machine (not sure if possible)
• Add a onbeforeunload listener to prevent accidental closures via shortcut. Example: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onbeforeunload.asp

Please let me know how you feel about this.
