Nice you mention it now ! :) :)

(trying to imagine i would trigger new tab just by mistyping a Ctrl+R some day 
in 2011 or so -- i had to file a bug report CRITICAL - GCMD SUDDENLY CREATES 
TABS!)

works

no works here.

what works is, when i close a tab via doubleclick, then the arrow <--> keys are 
navigating through tabs afterwards. Of course, a feature ! Let's talk other 
things.

Seriously, assigning focus finally got a little bit complex, with tab switching 
between panels and arrows moving in folders and then the commandline. 
Bugtracking must be pure horror :) but hopefully you are able to work it out 
somehow. Surely it needs to be designed very carefully and very bullet-proof to 
avoid creating just by case artificial intelligence some day !

> support for Firefox-style doubleclicks 

hey what. wait. do we confuse something here ? My firefox closes tabs with 
middle-click. Iceweasel 3.5.9 on Debian. But i seem to remember it was like 
this in Windows too. (It's just, i didn't need to use one since long)

I really think middleclick is a good choice, for example, it can not fail, 
while double-click on laptop touchpads may be triggered in error. (btw firefox 
also has ctrl+shift+t to re-open the latest closed tab)
- Is there any chance to implement a choice, to configure what click is used ?
