Follow-up Comment #5, bug #44605 (project octave):
I made a quick survey covering 4 software products, which is not
representative. In general, there is a number of common ways to close a tab
(using MS Windows, maybe different on Mac and Unix). Most software is offering
a number of methods in parallel, for convenience. None of them is offering
all.
Mouse
click left on the tab "X" symbol (Firefox, Notepad++, Matlab, Octave)
double-click left on the tab (Firefox via addon, Notepad++ via setting)
click middle on the tab (Firefox, Notepad++, Matlab)
click right tab + context menu + close (Firefox, Notepad++, Matlab)
Keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl + W (Firefox, Notepad++, Matlab)
Ctrl + F4 (Firefox, Matlab, Octave)
Menu
File -> Close (Notepad++, Octave)
Forgot anything?! Maybe...
The other way round:
Firefox is missing
Menu File -> Close
Notepad++ is missing
shortcut Ctrl + F4
Matlab is missing
double-click left on the tab
Menu File -> Close (since R2012b ribbon interface, I guess)
Octave is missing
click middle on the tab (until now)
shortcut Ctrl + W
double-click left on the tab
click right tab + context menu + close
=> In the sense of having functionality orthogonal across different software
products, I would like to withdraw my suggestion to make this function
configurable. I would rather plead to offer 5 or 6 of the above mentioned
methods in parallel.
