Title:
When one tab only left, allow us to use the "Close tab" keyboard
shortcut to close that (even if that'll close the window)
Status in GNOME Terminal:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Would be cool if, as on Google Chrome (and probably Chromium in fact)
but also as on Terminal (on OS X), when one tab only left, we can
still use the "Close tab" keyboard shortcut to close this tab, even if
the window is closed then.
Currently if we've many tabs, we can use this shortcut to close all
the tabs, but this behavior is blocked on the last tab and we need to
switch to the "Close window" keyboard shortcut.
This behavior is understandable. However, the last tab is still a tab!
So, it seems normal to allow us to close this (last) tab with the
shortcut "Close tab". It's logical too.
So, "Close window" still is useful, for example to close 10 tabs in one time.
But when we have a window with 1 tab / 1 tab left, as it's a tab, the "Close
tab" keyboard shortcut is logical to use, even if that will close the window
then (and terminate the process therefore on Linux).
I used to do this logical behavior on Terminal (on OS X). So visibly, it make
sense to Apple too, not just me. ^_^
But also on all OS when using Google Chrome: having many windows with many
tabs in each, and just having to keep my left hand on the "Close tab" keyboard
shortcut and I can close very quickly all the tabs of the window 3, then on the
window 2 (that appears because of window 3 was therefore closed), then on
window 1… until 0 tab left. And at this point on GNU/Linux, this terminates all
Google Chrome related processes.
N.B.: If this not becoming the new default behavior, can be added as
an option/preference. Always good to let people defining the behavior
they want, at least, then. :)
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS up-to-date.
Gnome-terminal version concerned: I think all, even probably the one used in
the Ubuntu 13.10 branch.
