Chrome style tab closing (easy to close multiple tabs)

[reubenbond]

Chome-style tab closing would be lovely.
If you're unfamiliar with the difference, the algorithm is something along the lines of "after a tab closure, don't resize surrounding tabs until the mouse leaves the tab bar area."

Thanks for your hard work

I agree, this would be a very handy little detail making Sublime Text 2 even better!

Tabs are fixed width in chrome, but variable width in Sublime Text. Delaying resizing the tabs wouldn't cause the close button to come under the mouse as in Chrome.

In Chrome, the tabs aren't fixed. Open 40 tabs and you'll see that they shrink. Even then, they don't resize after closing until you leave the area.

[jps]

They're fixed in the sense that they're all equally sized - this isn't the case in Sublime Text

Just use middle mouse to close tabs.

Or, better, don't use the mouse at all.

I often want to close multiple tabs in a row by keyboard, but the select-last-tab-by-buffer-stack behavior makes this impossible. Would love that to be a configurable option if at all possible, it often drives me crazy.

Yes, please "close all tabs" by key command. Thanks.

Yes, please "close all tabs" by key command. Thanks.

Throw this in your user keybindings:

Code: Select all

  { "keys": ["super+shift+w"], "command": "close_all" },


I just grabbed the command out of the Main Menu config file and bound it to a key.

I too would love to see Chrome-style tab closing added to ST.

Often when closing multiple tabs, I have to bounce the mouse around to hit the next "X" because of the variable tab width and immediate re-rendering of widths.
