Add a keyboard shortcut for minimizing Discord to the icon tray

Discord has really nice keyboard shortcuts, but unfortunately there is no way to minimize Discord to the icon tray which is the default action when clicking the top right X with the mouse.

When pressing Alt + F4, which you'd normally use, Windows actually fully closes Discord instead of minimizing.

I suggest Ctrl + W, known from Web Browsers, the Windows Explorer and more apps, as a "soft close" action or something which will actually do the same thing the X does.

  ALT+F4 is a Windows system shortcut for System > Close, which is also the same as the "red ❌" in the caption bar. When the option "Close to tray" is enabled, System > Close and the "red ❌" minimize the Discord window to the Windows notification area. Unfortunately, ALT-F4 still exits the application, which is completely unexpected (and undesirable). It is tedious to take my hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse, find Discord's X, and click it to minimize Discord to the notification area. ALT+F4 is much faster.
