Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the Web Console (Cmd+Shift+k). 2. In the Web Console, select Position > Window. 3. Press Cmd+W. Expected: Web Console closes Result: Nothing happens, or the web page behind the Web Console closes!?
yeah - this SUCKS. I opened bug 646816 to allow for panels to behave like windows, which needs to be fixed for this to work. Otherwise we refactor the "console in window" in an actual window, which is a huge pain

cmd-shift-k will close the console again though. I'm not sure we want to hijack the cmd-w shortcut to close the console, though it is kind of jarring. The uncanny valley of panels.

The uncanny valley of panels. Users think it is a window though, and it will just piss them off. this is really a xul widget issue that needs to be resolved. This is partially a dupe of bug 646816

Should bug 646816 block bug 663477 as well?
Aleksej, it feels very related so i'd block on that too

This is no longer a valid bug. The developer tools toolbox landed. The Web Console no longer uses a xul:panel of its own.

Yep, it works correctly for me now. The new steps are: 1. Open the Web Console (Cmd+Alt+k). 2. Move the Web Console to its own window (button in the top left of the console) 3. Press Cmd+W.
