Hi,
This patch enables the 'tab close' button to open a new tab when middle-clicked. This allows us to open a new tab with just one click instead of two. Of course it is possible to add a separate button for this, but to prevent clutter this might be a better solution.
Thanks, but I don't like too much the idea of mixing closing and opening a tab in the same button (not a very objective argument either, I'm aware). I agree that adding a new button for opening a new tab would clutter the UI. I was thinking in clicking the empty space after the tab to open a new one. If there is no empty space, you cannot use this shortcut, so we passively encourage you to close some tabs to always leave some space. On Firefox this is done by double clicking. In any case, I seem to always use Ctrl+T for new tabs. Best, Rodrigo.
