I find the reasoning not valid. This would definitely be a useful feature. Closing tabs with a middle click is a de facto standard in almost all browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, even Internet Explorer (!)
"Having tabs disappear if a user accidentally middle clicks anwhere inside them is confusing." is not convincing at all. How about accidental left clicks on the close button (which is WAY more likely since people switch tabs with left mouse button, and they NEVER use mid clicks on tabs except for closing). After all, be careful with clicks in general :) Moreover, a tab with a modified file would never close without confirmation. I'm determined this feature is needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624566 Title: Enhancement: Middle click to close tab (like Firefox) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/624566/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
