Middle click last tab is clearing search box

[w64bit]

Is there any setting to use to have middle click on last (single) tab not to clear search box = not to close last tab?
i have:
tabs_close_window_with_last_tab=0
tabs_always_show=1

[void]

In other words, you want the middle click on the last tab to do nothing?

Disabling tabs_close_window_with_last_tab will set your search to your Tools->Options->Home->Search value.



Are you spamming middle click to close a bunch of tabs?
I will consider a "close all tabs on the right" options, like Firefox.
Alt + Left Arrow will restore the last search.

I will consider a "close all tabs on the right" options, like Firefox.

I am also interested in the 'close_all_tabs_on_the_right' option to add it to my commands in a bookmark for a default/standard view.

Code: Select all

/echo off
/comment - ALT+ENTER causes a line break / add a newline ...
/comment - about:home <ENTER> = Filter "Everything" | about:keys <ENTER> = Keyboard Shortcuts | about:config = Path\Everything.ini | [ALT+F6] whole:about:exe|whole:about:ini  nop:"Everything Service running" = Path\Everything.exe, Path\Everything.ini

I would like to add the following thoughts on this topic:
  close_all_tabs_on_the_right=# ... Everything.ini
  Consideration of: tabs_close_window_with_last_tab = false ... the first tab always remains visible.
/close_all_tabs_on_the_right=3 The first three tabs remain fixed, all tabs to the right of them are deleted.
                                                Such a configuration would be useful, for example, if you want to have the search query:

#clipboard:

                                                permanently open in a separate tab, etc.

I would like to add the following thoughts on this topic:
...
  Consideration of: tabs_close_window_with_last_tab = false ... the first tab always remains visible.

I would like to elaborate on this point:

Currently, for example, the situation is as follows:
- There are 3 tabs.
- Because there are two more tabs after the first tab,
  the first tab can be closed and the two remaining tabs move to the left.
This behavior is not desired.

What is desired is:
The first tab should always remain open(!), i.e.

a) it should NOT be possible to delete it with this selected option above
b) with File | Close Tab CTRL+W (Global),
    either NO reaction should occur
    - OR -
    a message should appear stating that this tab CANNOT be deleted

This request is particularly helpful, for example, if the following is present
in the search box of Everything on the first tab:

#clipboard:

(Contents from the clipboard are automatically searched for in Everything).

Perhaps with a new option?
Tab Locked ... and an asterisk (✼ ✱ ★) before the “x”?

Please take this into account.
Thank you!

the first tab always remains visible.

This would have to be a different feature.
Pinning tabs is on my TODO list.
Pinning a tab would prevent it from being closed.

Yes.

This option would help:

"This tab is locked! Close anyway?
Yes No Cancel"

... so that a user can close a locked tab at their own request.

Currently, the most important thing for me would be to be able to close all tabs except for the first one: -> Default view

    added options to close multiple tabs.

Thank you very much for this implementation!

I would also like to ask you for Command IDs for

- Close Tabs to Left
- Close Tabs to Right
- Close Other Tabs

so that I can add them to the “Default View” bookmark.

Thank you in advance.

[void]

Code: Select all

#define UI_ID_TABCONTROL_CLOSE_OTHER_TABS				40410
#define UI_ID_TABCONTROL_CLOSE_TABS_TO_LEFT				40411
#define UI_ID_TABCONTROL_CLOSE_TABS_TO_RIGHT				40412

These commands close other tabs relative to the active tab.

I will update Command IDs

Thank you very much for promptly providing the command IDs!
