Configurable key for closing tabs (like Delete for windows users) about gibbon-tabs HOT 9 CLOSED

Hey @bendtherules, there is currently a shortcut just for this. You can press shift + backspace to delete the currently highlighted tab in the list. You're saying you would prefer to be able to modify this shortcut to a custom one? Let me know

from gibbon-tabs.

Yes. Shift + Backspace doesn't seem to work right now in Chrome on OSX.
Something like a single key shortcut will be helpful (like Delete in OSX and just Backspace in Windows). Or, maybe better yet, if it is configurable, anyone can just suit themselves.

In my head, it would work really nice with #4, where you can start with the current tab and aggresively close many tabs including this one. Its better than just multiple Ctrl+W as I get to see the page title before closing and switching to new tab takes some time to load on slower machines.

Oh that's pretty strange, I'm also running Chrome on OSX and it works for me. I'll investigate this further and get back to you.

Hi @bendtherules, is the delete shortcut working for you now?

@bendtherules could you try pressing "Shift" + "backspace" while you have have the extension open and have open tabs shown? "fn" + "delete" isn't a shortcut yet.

The "backspace" key on its own is used to delete the search queries, so I can't make it the default "Delete tab" shortcut.

Thanks for the help!

I'll close the issue then :)

I'm planning to add a little popup "How to use" menu to the extension to clear up doubts like these.

Thanks for using the extension!
