Description David Martin 2004-08-30 10:09:24 UTC
Version:           1.4 (using KDE 3.3.0,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7

As in the subject, when we have only a tab on Konsole, the "close tab" button ("X") at the right of the tabs bar, would be disabled.

It would be nice imitating Konqueror's behaviuor.

Comment 2 Mario Tanev 2004-09-19 05:44:38 UTC
Actually, I am, and there might be other people unhappy about this. Since I am using mouse gestures which map uniquely to a keyboard shortcut, it is impossible to consistently close a Konqueror tab. One gesture will be needed when more than one tab is present, and another when only one tab is present. I use close tab gestures in konsole right now and this would worsen my experience. Mabe KDE should obtain a tab management KCM that would allow people to configure such things?

Thanks!

I agree with comment #2;  I'm not sure blindly following Konq is correct.
I would say we need a way to configure this option.
Comment 4 Stephan Binner 2004-09-21 20:43:00 UTC
The style guide says that the close tab action shouldn't close the application.
