You can create a shortcut in full screen mode :

This will launch Guacamole in a dedicated window and allow many keyboark shortcuts like CTRL-W:

It is possible to go even further by adding a manifest.json so that the user is automatically offered to "install" Guacamole. It should be possible to add it to your instance with an Apache/nginx substitute.

Hey everyone,

I've put together a simple Electron based client for Guacamole to meet some needs for my team (Ctrl+W needs to work in terminals, and they just prefer to not use their browser for their RDP connections). Overall it seems to be working well. That being said, is there any specific reason why I shouldn't do this? Is there some huge red flag that I'm missing?

No, there's no specific reason why you shouldn't do this - one of the
benefits to open source software, like Guacamole, is that you can take the code and use it to suit your needs. If this achieves that goal for you and
works, then that's great, and if you're willing to share links for the
code, there may be others who would be interested in using it, contributing
to it, etc.

That said, while I understand the benefit of what you're trying to achieve, I'm not sure there would be support for making that part of the mainstream
Guacamole project, as one of the project's stated goals is to be
clientless, with the exception of a web browser. Implementing an
Electron-based client goes beyond that and introduces some additional
complexity with respect to client updates and additional software required
to support it.
