I have disabled tab close buttons intentionally. It is quite arbitrary, of course. They seem a bit "cluttered" and "redundant" to me, as opposed to a single button that acts to "close the current tab". > By "open tab" do you mean something like the + button in Firefox (iceweasel)? Yes, like that. There is also an element of "consistency" that could be addressed, in that the "right click" pop-up menu seems to be "missing" an "open new tab" selection. So then, it is nice to have a uniform approach to "open tab" and "close tab", even where there are differing preferences or approaches. These could all be configuration options. There is "File/New Tab" and "File/Close Tab", and that approach is uniform. Another approach would allow "Right click in a Window/Open and Close Tab", but there are neither "Open Tab" or "Close Tab" menu entries there, and so an "extra" mouse-motion is required to select the "File" menu instead, which is not _as_ convenient, even if not difficult. There is the "Right click on a Tab" pop-up menu, which has "Close Tab", but is missing an "Open Tab". Even this approach requires a "second" mouse-motion, to select a menu entry, compared to a set of "always visible" "Open Tab" and "Close Tab" buttons, but again, not difficult. It's more of a style thing. How often do I actually open or close a Tab that I need "always visible" buttons? Not often. I'm thinking the more desirable style feature would be paired "Open Tab" and "Close Tab" selections in the "Right Click" pop-up menus, even more so than "always visible" buttons. That would be "uniform"/"consistent" and require the least "mouse positioning" to achieve the result, and maybe easy to do, just adding a couple of menu entries. And then, "Open Tab next to current tab" is nice, since sliding the mouse cursor to a particular tab is easy to do, and it seems that Roxterm already does that. There would be a bit of synergy there, "right click" a tab, or in the window, and select "New Tab". And, you could still add a "New Tab" button to the tab bar. Of course, some people will find _that_ to seem a bit "cluttered" and "redundant". ;) James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
