Protected Tabs

Post by CompSystems »

Hello

When you click on tabs and close others simultaneously (for example, "Close other tabs"), locked tabs should not close. One option would be to protect them from automatic closure with a new lock option, for example, "Protected Tab"

If you try to close a locked tab you get a warning message, if you ignore this, it is your problem.

If "Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Prompt on closing a locked tab" is ticked, which it is not by default, which I find surprising. I think it should be ticked by default. Opinions?

If you Ctrl+Right-Click a tab header you'll see a command "Close Other Unlocked Tabs".
