Sorry, just took a quick look at your question,
so I might not be paying enough attention to it.

I remap `quit-window' to `quit-window-delete'
for interactive use.  That's defined here:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/misc-cmds.el

(define-key global-map [remap quit-window] 'quit-window-delete)
