I want to reclaim CTRL-W
for closing my terminal tab to get the same behaviour
as in Firefox and other programs. Is there a command I can run to avoid having to press CTRL-W
to navigate windows in vim or neovim ?

In :h windows.txt
you can find the following :
Note: All CTRL-W commands can also be executed with :wincmd, for those
places where a Normal mode command can't be used or is inconvenient.
and
:winc :wincmd
These commands can also be executed with ":wincmd":
:[count]winc[md] {arg}
Like executing CTRL-W [count] {arg}. Example:
:wincmd j
Moves to the window below the current one.
This command is useful when a Normal mode cannot be used (for
the CursorHold autocommand event). Or when a Normal mode
command is inconvenient.
The count can also be a window number. Example:
:exe nr . "wincmd w"
This goes to window "nr".

Note that you can accept your own answer to mark this as resolved.– D. Ben Knoble ♦Sep 22, 2021 at 20:19
