Currently, if I have several tabs open and want to close some of them, I have two possibilities:
(1) Click on each tab I want to close, and select File/Close (or use the corresponding shortcut), or (2) Double-click on the tab, provided I have activated this feature in the settings. (1) is convenient if I want to close the current tab, but cumbersome if I want to close several ones. (2) is convenient for people for whom a double click is convenient. It's a question of motoric. I try to do as much as possible with a single click, and I have set on my system the double-click interval higher than the default, because I otherwise have trouble double-clicking fast enough so that Windows recognizes it as double click instead of two single clicks. My proposal is that another possibilitiy is offered to close a tab (of course, not mandatory, but configurable via the options, so that users are nor forced to use them). Here a few suggestions for the user interaction (of course it would be sufficient to implement only one of them): (a) Have a small X displayed on the tab. A single click on this X closes the tab. (b) Draw a part of the tab (for instance the right 20% of it) in a different background colour. A single click on this 'closing' area closes the tab. (c) By gesture: Clicking and dragging the tab outside of the editor area would close the tab. (d) Allow several tabs to be selected (by shift-clicking or control-clicking on each tab to be closed), and then use File/Close to actually close all the selected tabs. -- Ronald Fischer (Germany) <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,74160,74160> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
