Double Click to Close Tab

[kalarsen]

Description

Double (left) click on a tab to close it

Who's implementing?

• [ ] I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

As a user with extremely large hands, I do not use the middle mouse button. Closing tabs by double-click is by far the easiest method for me.

Possible solutions

Firefox has had this feature for a long time. Microsoft Edge is in the process of adding it as well. The following project has implemented it in the past and should provide a framework for how it can be done. https://github.com/intika/UGChrome This should be a feature which can be enabled by a flag and is disabled by default.

This seems like a request better suited for upstream Chromium.

[kalarsen]

I am certainly open to it being implemented upstream. This project already has a feature for hiding the close button on tabs, and this seems similar.

Agree. It's convenient to use double click to close tabs, especially when you have hidden the close button in flags to save more space for caption text.
