Confirmation before closing session with multiple terminals :/

Open hrvoj3e opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

I have multiple sessions in tabs at the bottom. Each session has multiple terminals. When I click X on a session tab it closes all terminals without asking ! :/ :/

What I want?

  • an option to enable confirmation for closing session tabs (always or only when more than one terminal - or both)
  • closing without confirmation only when holding eg. holding ALT key and clicking X on a tab
  • or option to protect/lock a terminal (like the existing Read only)
  • ... or something in that direction

If you need better explanation or screens I am happy to provide them and test any dev versions.

I have seen https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/500

  • it is not the same!

This is my #1 most frequent cause of dataloss. In severity, it is only topped by tilix crashing. Please ALWAYS confirm closing a tab, no matter what, at least by default! A don't ask again checkbox could deal with those who disagree. Please mention how many terminals will be closed by closing the tab or window. Now that roxterm is broken, no terminal program I found on ubuntu confirms closing a tab. Lack of confirm in tilix, etc. was the main reason I used roxterm exclusively.

In my case I use two monitors and the 1 pinned tab is pretty close to the "x" in the terminal. Basically I close my terminals by mistake at least 3x or 4x / day. A confirmation before closing would be really nice.
