Wording of "Close Terminal?" prompt

[peterjc]

1. Using macOS
2. Run Ghostty v1.0
3. ...
4. Open new tab with Apple+T
5. Click the "X" in the left of the tab controls OR press Apple+W
6. Get the following popup:

Close Terminal?
The terminal still has a running process.
If you close the terminal the process will be killed.
[Close the Terminal]
[Cancel]

Or,

1. Using macOS
2. Run Ghostty v1.0
3. ...
4. Open new split right with Apple+D
5. Press Apple+W
6. Get the same popup.

The fact I get prompted at all is a separate issue, see #3070 - assume for the sake of argument that I have something running in the terminal.

My issue is with the wording, and that "Terminal" can be open to interpretation, especially as a new user.

I think it could be clearer that this means "Tab" or "Terminal Tab", or if using panes, "Pane" or "Terminal Pane".

Initially I was unsure if this might mean "Terminal Window" (or worse, "Terminal Application" - meaning all the Ghostty windows/tabs/panes).

Very closely related to this (and I was torn on a comment here versus a new issue), the main menu under "File" has:

• New Window (Apple+N)
• New Tab (Apple+T)
• --
• Split right (Apple+D)
• Split down (Shift+Apple+D)
• --
• Close (Apple+W)
• Close Windows (Shift+Apple+W)
• Close All Windows (Alt+Shift+Apple+W)

[And yes, you can write the shortcuts as Command+W etc - hopefully this still clear.]

Might "Close (Apple+W)" say "Close Tab (Apple+W)" (which would match browsers like Firefox) or "Close Pane (Apple+W)" as appropriate?

As a comparison, Terminator just has "Close" in the Right Click Menu which could be better.

Agree, it would be great to have "Close Window, Close Tab, Close Pane" all as explicit things. I suppose "Close All Windows" too.

Close window, close pane (close split) and close tab are already implemented in GTK on tip, although I'm not sure if that's the case in macOS
