It would be nice to have an option in the preferences to allow to reopen the last closed tab by middle clicking in the empty area of the tab bar. Right now, the behaviour is to open an empty tab, which I feel is a bit redundant, since there is already an easily accessible new tab button.

There is any other browser that have the mentioned behavior (middle click reopens tab) ?

Currently Ctrl + Shift + Tab reopens the last closed tab.

Sorry, I mean Ctrl + Shift + T

On Falkon 3.0.0, any middle-click on an opened tab will close it, a middle-click on an empty area will open a new tab, middle-clik on new tab button will open new tab and paste the buffered text as url (with http prefix).

This is a bit confusing and lack consistency.

Additionaly, a double left-click on an empty area will open a new tab and left-click on new tab buttons will open a new tab too. So the current middle-click behaviour on empty area is redundant.

IMHO current middle-click options should be disabled first.
Tab re-opening is already allowed with shortcut and right-click menu, middle-click re-opening should be optional.

Tested on :
Debian Sid
Falkon 3.0.0, official debian package 3.0.0-3
QtWebEngine 5.10.1
