Close tabs by [ Shift + Click ]

[mavlutovr]

Shift + Click now is for the tabs selection.

But many applications what I use Shift + Click for current tab closing (and Ctrl + W also). I use that a lot in another applications. And this is why I often try to close tab by Shift + Click, but it doesn't work (in any browser).

So, could you add posilility to set Shift + Click key for tabs closing? And in my case, I would like to select tabs by Ctrl + Click one by one.

What do you think about that?

@mavlutovr Not a good solution. There are already multiple ways to close a tab, and Shift+Click for selecting a range of tabs is useful.

1. Click the x button (small target, requires precision, so not ideal)
2. Settings, Tabs, Tab Handling, Double-click to Close Tabs
3. Middle-click if you have a scrollwheel mouse
4. Define a mouse gesture to do it

@Pesala yes, you are right, this is not a good solution for everybody.
And what if some people get the posibillity to set Shift + Click for tab closing?

In this case I can't set the shortcode, settings don't allow to add Click as a key, just keyboard.
How much more (than closing tabs by Shift + Click) Vivaldi can get by adding the posibility to set mouse buttons as shortcodes?

Well, you did ask, so I expressed my opinion:

What do you think about that?

My own request Allow Modifier Keys for Mouse Gestures was archived due to having only 4 votes after four years.

I have just added my vote to a newer request, which had zero votes. Modifier Keys Support for Mouse Gestures. Modifiers with Left, Right, and Middle-click would also be useful.

In the vertical tabs i use, the best for me is closing these with the middle click, it's the fastest and most confortable way for me. It's a default behavior in most browsers to closing tabs this way, no extra settings needed, like F5 for reload or Shift+ctrl+del for deleting browser data, etc.. that works in any browser.
