That section is about *switching* between windows, and I don't see how
this feature fits there. It would merely clutter the page IMO.
Let's just close the task. If there is a close button the users know
that it can be used to close the window.
** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu)
Status:
I found two mentions of Super+W (see below). (I revised the second page
two or three months ago.) But they both relate (mainly) to use of the
keyboard. I could mention in shell-windows-switching.html "From the
keyboard (method 2)" that the user can close a window using the mouse or
the keyboard
@Chris: Is windows handling at this level of detail at all mentioned in
the desktop guide? I can't recall it is, and if it isn't, I'd say that
the ubuntu-docs task of this bug is invalid.

No, sorry... It's not possible to backport features like this.
However you can still enable the scale-addons plugin in CCSM and enable
the option to close a window by middle-clicking on it.

One way to get this functionality (not like in Q, but with similar

option to close windows on middle-click.

You can already close scaled windows with a middle click if you want.
Just load the compiz plugin: scaleaddon

re. your comment:
I have a notice on this bug :
- if the window was already decorated when scale is triggered, the title bar in
scale mode can be clicked to select the window. This is obviously a correct
behaviour.
- if the window was undecorated (ie : maximized) when scale is

As I mentioned on IRC when poked about this bug, I don't agree with
John's last comment to just file a new bug and accept the new feature.
I'd expect any feature landing through the FeatureFreezeException
process to be perfect in the sense that it has no known issue, what
you're saying above is
From the comments above, it doesn't feel that the design is complete
and fully tested at this point.This should be retargetted to land in
the R series.

I would request the release team to reconsider this as I believe the
issue that was raised above does not exist in the latest code, plus I
have been testing this feature for a few days and it seems to work fine
for me.
I have attached a video to show that the bug does not exist in latest
code.

I don't believe I've ever used middle-click to close tabs before you
mentioned it, so I wouldn't call it intuitive. It's not near as
documented as Ctrl+W is (which self-documents in traditional menus). And
it doesn't work for all tabbed interfaces: it fails in gedit, gnome-
terminal, nautilus, and
What Omer says it's true... These comments are based on an old version
of this feature: the one that initially landed in trunk; I also noticed
some issues on it and so I immediately requested some fixes to Renato
that he promptly did in lp:~renatofilho/unity/unity-lp876017-fixes. I
also integrated
@Loris:
Last thing : if the fix is based on the panel code, shouldn't there be a
fade
effect on the window title if it overflows the right border of scale
decoration ?
That was my request too, and it was added... Since we now we use the
same code (even if it is not shared yet) to draw
I'd like to urge you to have this feature released in Quantal. Gnome 3

it to appear in Unity for one and a half year already. It's really a
