Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux It is quite common to close tabs in web browser or elsewhere with middle button (wheel). I think, that it would come in handy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open several tabs in Konsole Wheel-click on any tab Actual Results: No tab is closed Expected Results: Tab should be closed
It could be handy, but it could also be dangerous. A accidental wheel-click will easily close a tab in which some important program is running. Accidentally closing a webpage usually will not cause much damage, because most webpages are stateless. But shell and many programs are not.
I will close this as DUPLICATE, because the same idea has been requested and refused in bug #191751. Additionally, bug #170871 records why that ability has been removed due to an request opposite to this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 191751 ***
