Description: On macOS it is default behavior to close windows with ⌘W. This is not possible with the About dialog in LibreOffice 7.0b1. Please add that functionality. Steps to Reproduce: Open About dialog and press ⌘W Actual Results: Nothing - the about dialog stays open forcing users to close that dialog using the mouse. Expected Results: ⌘W should close the about dialog as any other dialog in LO can be closed with that keyboard shortcut. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: ESC button does close about dialog, so that is great. Adding ⌘W should make the feeling more native as macOS users are conditioned for that to close a dialog as well. Interestingly below v7 when pressing ⌘W in the about dialog, the LO website is opened. That behavior feels very wrong so it is an improvement, it did not make it to the new about dialog.

Finder > About works as Steve describes: escape and cmd+W closes. So let's see if we can implement this easily.
See also the discussion on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/95791 where a ctrl/cmd+C shortcut is requested to copy the version info.
There was a fix by Patrick making keyboard shortcut cmd+w close windows for LibreOffice. I am not sure which issue that fix was for. But I just tested it, it works and it also applies to the about dialog. verified in Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a05432f02b6441b66addc0f22f1b8444557ac37b CPU threads: 12; OS: macOS 14.6.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Thanks Patrick, and setting this here to worksforme. Feel free to set it to dupe of the fixed bug.
