Answer 2

I solved this issue by adding following in keybindings.json -

  {
    "key": "cmd+w",
    "when": "!editorIsOpen && !multipleEditorGroups",
    "command": "workbench.action.quit"
  }

Normally, cmd+w will close the editor window (with checks for unsaved as well), and when no editor window is open, it quits the app.

@HaiFengKao's comment mentions workbench.action.quit that quits vscode without any prompts.

Shortcut for it is Ctrl + Q but it quits all windows :(

Answer 4

I was having similar issue Untitled.code-workspace file being created as I just close my laptop and never properly close Vs code. I would delete them manually but somehow Git was still tracking these files whenever I push my code to the branch.

In any case we want to stop these files from being generated for that purpose follow the steps below:

Go to code -> preferences -> settings -> under commonly used -> Files:Exclude -> Add Pattern -> **/.code-workspace

that would disable the prompt and no such files would be created again.
