Description Lucian Marinescu 2010-04-11 22:05:14 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Let's say you have 10 windows open, each of them having an entry on the task bar. Now you want to close 8 of them:
find the app -> middle click -> go hover on close -> click close
find the app -> middle click -> go hover on close -> click close
find the app -> middle click -> go hover on close -> click close
... and the same process 5 more times.

I think it'd require much less effort and SHIFTING OF FOCUS if you could close them by middle clicking on their taskbar entries.
The same applies even if you want to close just one window.

AND it would be consistent with the behaviour of the browsers' tabs.



This feature should be optional - there should be a checkbox to check/uncheck in the Task Manager Settings dialog.


Thanks!
