Fixing what ain't broke (changing shortcuts)

Alt+F, X used to close the file you were working on. Now it closees the whole application, without any warning. Alt+F, C now closes an individual file. It's taking me a surprisingly (to me! It shouldn't be to the user interaction specialists a company the size of Autodesk should be having design their GUIs) long time to adjust my muscle memory.

 

An extremely minor thing of course, but adding new customer frictions for absolutely no reason is just so dumb I have to be annoyed anyway.

They now comply with Microsoft/Windows?
Not that I ever used it much, but C for CLOSE command (which closes the file) and X (clicking on the X top-right corner) to close the application seems to make more sense to me considering the commands AutoCAD has always used.

As long as I can remember Ctrl X has existed AutoCAD, which version are you using ? It may have behaved differently depending on SDI mode toggles
