Using Ctrl+W and middle-click to close windows (tabs) works because it is the
same shortcuts in use by Web-Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet
Explorer). I think people will readily understand the shortcuts because of its
universality of use in Web-Browsers.

spread windows)
WOW. If they implement all of that it will be fantastic.
I know there may be quite a few users who would question the removal
of workspaces by default, but:
A) they're still optional
B) I used to use them all the time, but I've found that even without
all of the extra features/improvements in this document, task
switching in Unity is easier, so I rarely use workspaces now.
+1 to the middle click idea and to having a keyboard shortcut. My
only thought is that Ctrl+W is not intuitive for close.
Since any letter might represent an appropriate word in one language
but not another, I wonder if delete might not be more intuitive and
international?

The proposed Unity Task Switching features are nice work:

However, it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut option for
closing windows from within Full-Spread and Application-Spread.
The google doc made no mention of this capability.
I hope the following feature for closing windows from within
Full-Spread and Application-Spread will be added to the
feature-list:
1.) when a window in Full-Spread or Application-Spread has focus
(i.e., orange highlight), pressing Ctrl+W will close that
window.
I think it would also be beneficial to have this feature as
well:
2.) middle-clicking a window from within Full-Spread or
Application-Spread will close that window
