Solved Ctrl-Q to quit doesn't ask for confirmation

sid0

ctrl Q should exit the app without confirming according to the language we usually follow in other apps. But browser is an exception when it can happen by mistake since key X is next to key Q and key X is very frequently used to close tabs. And there's a very big cost to pay.
ctrl Q does nothing in Chromium, and it can show confirmation dialog in Firefox [but that's still not default].
My wish: better if does nothing but at least show confirmation dialog by default, by default is a must.

I absolutely agree with you and would like to support you on that! There must be an option to make Ctrl+Q ask for confirmation. But, yeah, clearing the shortcut also does the job for me.

Hi, I would call this a bug as the dialogue does not show up if you exit from the Vivaldi menu, too.
Or they should add (Does not work on Ctrl+Q, Menu > Exit)

Cheers, mib

@abigailking See Settings, Tabs:

Keep Window Open when Last Tab is Closed

@Pesala
I have this enabled but does not work.

Pesala

@mib2berlin It works fine for what it was designed to do — do not close window when last tab is closed.

File, exit without any confirmation, is good design. We really do not need a warning for this.

If they try to make it idiot-proof, it will just result in extra special idiots.

This issue has been fixed in today's release of Vivaldi 6.0.

As reported in the blog thread, it's not. Still no dialog.

@edwardp Tested with Debian 11.6 KDE Plasma: after Ctrl+Q as shortcut Vivaldi asks to close window, but with main menu → Exit does not ask.

Report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-). Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

@DoctorG VB-96731

Also referenced my previous bug (VB-77300) in the report.

The exit dialog on CTRL-Q, began to appear after exiting and restarting Vivaldi a few times.

DoctorG

@edwardp I linked VB-96731 to VB-77300, updated for 6.x, bug was confirmed.
