Need a custom function that only close tab

[leeyc0]

I need a custom function that only close tab like https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/close-on-escape-too/

I tried func:CloseTabOrWindow, but it terminates thunderbird itself too if there is no tab opening. I also tried tbkeys:closeMessageAndRefresh, although it does not terminate thunderbird, it has another side effect: expands all thread (which I don't want either).

What I need is tbkeys:closeMessageAndRefresh, but does not expand thread.

(Note: I am using tbkeys-lite therefore writing arbitrary function is not possible)

[leeyc0]

if (win.document.getElementById("tabmail").tabContainer.selectedIndex != 0) {
  win.CloseTabOrWindow();
}

This piece of code works exactly what I want. I'd like to be included in tbkeys-lite. I have to use tbkeys at the moment and set key binding as the code above.

Hey man, here is a quick fix in case you don't want to wait until it's implemented in the actual add on. Just go to your addons folder for your thunderbird profile, something like: .thunderbird/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/extensions

In case you are comfortable with vim you can just edit the file in place with vi [email protected].

If not you need to unzip the .xpi file, modify the files, zip them again and then drag and drop into thunderbird add-ons window (which installs the addon). Make sure to remove the old one before you install the modified version. In a bash shell you can do the following:

1. unzip [email protected] -d code
2. cd code and edit implementation.js as described below
3. zip -r ../new_version.zip *
4. Go to thunderbird add-on page, remove the old add-on and install the new one by dragging and dropping the new_version.zip.

What you need to modify The code you posted is already part of the extension. You can find it in the implementation.js file. The problem is the line below that: win.goDoCommand("cmd_getMsgsForAuthAccounts"); Just comment out that line - looks like this for me:

Then reinstall the add-on and you should be good to go :)

Hope that helped :)

I would close the current tab like so.

window.document.getElementById('tabmail').closeTab();

This should probably be on the README.md somewhere near "Common key bindings" as a way how to actually add custom bindings.

Thanks! It helped me to make several needed "Common key bindings" working =)
