Double click for editor tabs can close the tab.

It would be nice to assign a behavior on double click event of tab

Shouldn't it be nice to have the ability to close editor tabs by double

clicking to them. Or it can be an option in editor control.

No, it's already possible to close it through CTRL-click, Ctrl-F4 and
context-menu-close.
Three possible ways...
And AFAIK, there's a proposition to assign the double-click to Full-screen
mode, which is IMHO a good idea.

There also is a request somewhere to link this action (close tab) to
right-click.
I would find this handy, as the right-click is unused, 1-key, and just
under the thumb (on my laptop keyboard).

Shift-Click, not Ctrl-Click.

It's also possible to close using middle-click, and via File -> Close Active Editor...

So, five ways?

On a laptop,
- there is no middle button
- ( ) is less easy to access than on a big keyboard.

=> double (or ..) makes sense, especially as it is
currently not used.

Right click shows the context-menu of the editor tab !!!!

Hi
I often use right click for example to to launch tests of an open files. The right click open the menu of the file, but if with perform a right click on the first element of the menu (witch is Close the file) it close the file.

IMHO the right click should not be considered like the left click to prevent this. I often mis-close files due to this behavior.
It would be great to prevent it.

Hi David Vander Elst, it's possible to customize this menu via Settings  | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars , in the right tree, expand the folder Editor Tab Popup Menu, then you can edit the popup menus there.
