I'm a longtime user of Multizilla, and I miss lots of its features in
Seamonkey 2. I guess I'll have to wait for most of them until HJ has
time to finish his Suiterunner-compatible port...

But, until then, it brought to fore a few Seamonkey issues -- ones that,
I think, could be addressed in the main code.

For instance, I got used to using Ctrl-W to close tabs. In Multizilla,
there is/was an option to keep it from closing the window when you close
the last tab -- instead, it loads a new (blank/home) tab automatically.

In Seamonkey, though, if you Ctrl-W the last tab, the whole window
closes. Furthermore, if you have no other Seamonkey windows opened, the
whole application shuts down -- that is, a moment's distraction may need
almost half a minute to recover. This is certainly by design, because
the "file" menu changes accordingly.

However, this doesn't happen if you close tabs using the mouse (if you
disable the "hide tabbar when there is only one tab showing" feature, of
course).

The pie-in-the-sky solution would be to have totally separate shortcuts
to "close tab" and "close window" -- but I realize that after all this
time, it would hurt more than it would help, since people are already
used to current behaviour.

So, what about a preference to make the keyboard shortcuts to behave the
same way as the close-tab mouse buttons? I found a reference to a
Firefox preference ( browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab ) that does
exactly that, and I tried to create it and set it to "false" in
Seamonkey 2, but it didn't work -- apparently it's not present in SM.
Implementing it would solve this problem, and keep it consistent with
Firefox.
