Confirm Closing Vivaldi

[Pesala]

I agree with you both. I don't like too many confirmation prompts, but Opera 12.18 has it as an option, which is off by default.

Opera also has a timer, so you don't need to take any further action after clicking the X.

DON'T PANIC.

I got my towel right here...

[Nekomajin]

This option is a must.

Session restore is one thing, but you can not restore the in-app state of a game or a web app.

[Shadess]

Would like this very much as an option.

[matiasmovie]

I think to this option they must add Save and Quit warning like on Firefox when close web browser with more than one tab

[lamarca]

It's in the Pipeline.

[NovaViper]

There should be a setting to change when should the browser warn the user based on a set number of tabs open (i.e. If I want Vivaldi to warn me with 20 tabs open, I put in the setting "Warn me at 20 open tabs", and the browser will do so). But this would be an additional setting along with the normal warning

[Noitu]

I want this option really much. Please...

[Xypher]

Does this include a confirmation pop-up when there is still an active download? There are times when I accidentally close the browser just to interrupt unresummable downloads. I would really appreciate a dedicated exit confirmation dialogue just for active downloads. Of course, for people who are irritated by pop-up dialogues, users should be able to turn the feature on or off in settings.

[Pesala]

@xypher That's a different thing, and is already available, at least in the latest Snapshots.

@ghpy A simple solution is to disable the X on tabs, that is what I did. I just close them with my keyboard CTRL+W or clicking with the mouse middle button. No more closed tabs by accident. Of course, that will not save if you click the X in the browser window as it will close everything.

And that's exactly what this thread is about: accidentally clicking the upper right hand X or typing the corresponding shortcut (depending on the system: Ctrl+Q, F4, Alt+F4 ).

Recentely I told the Dev assignee of the bug we are all anxious.

[GBB]

For macOS,

Add an option: Long press CMD+Q to close Vivaldi

[CheVe11e_191]

FYI, this request is internally under VB-6951

[Pesala]

I hope it is implemented like Opera 12.18. It is a better method than Firefox.

[lamarca]

That's exactly what @CheVe11e_191 said above.
"Add notification to prevent accidental exit" it's not a bug, it's a New Feature.

@Pesala Can't you remap the keyboard?

[Catweazle]

It may be an option, although I am already annoyed by too many pop-ups on Windows with 'Are you sure?' and other confirmations of anything. However, some may be useful, for example, the alert when Vivaldi is closed when there is a current download, which has already been added in the latest versions.

[lamarca]

@catweazle An option enable by the default unlike the Chinese browser.
