Description Richard Bos 2006-11-26 22:12:42 UTC
Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

It would be (very very) nice if konsole could get the same
(additional) method to close a tab, as in konqueror and
firefox.  In the last 2 applications it is possible to close
a tab with the MMB (middle mouse button), and I must admit
this is addicting.  Once used to it, you can't live without
it.  To enable this in konqueror use:

From konquerorrc:
[FMSettings]
MouseMiddleClickClosesTab=true


Perhaps something similar can be added to konsole???
Comment 1 Robert Knight 2006-11-27 01:50:06 UTC
Yes, good idea.  It would also make tabs more consistant across various applications.

I need to check whether this can be done already at the level of the KDE libraries.  It would be better there as it would make this feature available to other KDE applications without additional code in each program.
Comment 2 Daniel Hahler 2007-04-28 19:38:40 UTC
Have you checked if this can be done at the KDE level? This should get considered for KDE4.

Excuse me for bothering you but as this seems to be implemented quite some time ago - how can I activate it in konsole of KDE 3.5.9? Do I have to add something to konsolerc (similar to konquerorrc mentioned above)?
Comment 6 Robert Knight 2008-08-24 15:40:34 UTC
Hi Janet,

The fix applies to KDE 4, this feature is unfortunately not available in KDE 3.5.9 that I know of.
Comment 7 Daniel Hahler 2010-05-30 02:25:17 UTC
It does not work for me in 2.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3), Ubuntu Lucid.

Has this regressed, or am I missing something?
Comment 8 Richard Bos 2010-05-30 10:56:42 UTC
I've 2.3.3, looks like it has been added between 2.3.3 and 2.4.3.
