Adrien,
I believe the OP was referring to the CLOSE toolbar button to the right of
the SAVE toolbar button.
Cheers David H.

Yes, I always use File->Quit to quit the program (in fact, I don't like the
move toward removing this option and just hitting the "X").
I use the "X" to close tabs all the time in GnuCash... I didn't even know
that there was a menu item. I've never confused the tab close button with
anything
Me, too... I keep the main checking register tab open, along with our
commonly-used credit cards. I actually didn't know one could have separate
windows.
The OP said that under certain circumstances, he would lose "everything"
and have to re-create the Chart of Accounts That sounds pretty

Ctrl-Shift-T is good for that in Firefox

Yes, it's there in Windows. (Really it should be Exit, not Quit, but
that's a minor point.)

Yes, and the red button that functions as the 'close window' action on
the window title bar in MacOS, *does* entirely close GnuCash - not just
the active window while leaving the app running in the background. (this
is true of all of my Mac apps—I don't have any that stay running when I

I would not support the latter. There's already a
Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-T will get your last closed tab back. (personally, I'd
find it easier to remember Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-W since Ctrl/Cmd-W is what
closed it, shifting would reverse that action, similar to TAB &
Shift-TAB in other contexts, but since Ctrl/Cmd-T opens a new tab, I can

I finally found a need to join this discussion. I just accidentally used
'Ctrl-W' in Firefox, closing the GMail tab instead of searching for that
string in this discussion. Because I have closed tabs accidentally several
times in Firefox in the past, I already know that I can go to the history
Re-sending because I sent to the individuals instead of the list. Yes it
was my mistake, but I'm not the only one who makes that mistake, and if
the mailing list set the reply-to header that mistake would be a lot
harder to make. I know this has been discussed in the past, but I can't
remember
ut, my bad.

Thank you all for your considered comments and suggestions, from which I
can see that I failed to explain myself adequately, so apologies there.
What I want to be able to do is to ‘lock’ the tabs I open so that they
cannot be closed with out first being ‘unlocked’.
Perhaps a little padlock icon
Honestly, the button could be removed altogether in my opinion. The close "X"
on tabs is pretty standard in other apps, and has the benefit of being a direct
action that most users understand intuitively.

That's already a feature.
