Disctinct keyboard shortcuts for Close action with specific Close Tab Activation

[lolmaus]

There are a three Close Tab Activation modes:

• Activate in Recently Used Order
• Activate Left in Tab Order
• Activate Right in Tab Order

My problem is that it always behaves unpredictably for me. Regardless of which Close Tab Activation is configured, I intuitively expect one of them to be used for each individual closing of a tab.

Sometimes I'm looking at tab to the left, and it would activate the previously active tab. Sometimes I want to go back to the previously active tab, and it activates tab to the left.

This needs to stop!

I would like to be able to set distict keyboard shortcuts for the three Close Tab Activation modes.

E. g.:

• Ctrl+W closes current tab and activates tab to the left;
• Ctrl+Shift+W closes current tab and activates tab to the right;
• Ctrl+Alt+W closes current tab and activates the previously active tab.

Please.

Hi
I absolutely support this proposal. Because of my journalistic work, I usually have several websites open and when I close one of them I sometimes want to activate the one on its right and other times, the one on its left. In Firefox you can do this with an extension: Select After Closing Current. It also allows you to freely assign hotkeys to each option.
