[Suggestion] Do not show Close button on tabs

I would like to see an option to not show the Close button ("X") on tabs.
Just like Notepad++ has (Show close button on each tab setting) and Firefox used to have.

For closing tabs I use 'CTRL + W' in "keyboard-mode"
In "mouse-mode" a scrollwheel-click on the tab is enough for me to close the tab, so no need to aim for the small Close button.


Just to have an extra clean user interface ...

Everything 1.5.0.1367a adds a tabs_close_button advanced setting.

To hide the close buttons on tabs:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    menu
  • Select: tabs_close_button
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.


To close tabs you can:
Right click the tab and click Close Tab.
-or-
Press Ctrl + W



Thank you for the suggestion!

Hmmm...when I try to click the scroll wheel/mmb to close a tab it pastes the clipboard.

If I use default settings I still can't middle click to close a tab.

What am I doing wrong? ¯\(°_o)/¯

Please check your mouse software.



What mouse event is Everything seeing? could you please:
  • In Everything, create at least two tabs.
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
  • Middle click a tab.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
    --this will open your Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad
  • Please post the contents here.
    -It will show if Everything is receiving a middle mouse button action or a paste action.

Granted! :twisted:
But what was the problem? How did you shoot yourself in the foot?

I had X-Mouse Button Control running and I didn't catch it. I thought that maybe middle click pasting was part of Everything since I had it set that way for so many years. It was an embarrassing moment indeed. :roll:
