October: UX: Mouse middle click for closing Tab

[amdad]

I always use mouse middle button (wheel click) to close tabs.Would be nice if October have that in core.

Is it possible to detect 3rd mouse click? I always thought this was controlled by the operating system. i.e not available to the browser.

Of course! Very simple. http://jsfiddle.net/7S2SQ/

I was just about to make proposal like this... More than few times i clicked out of habit on october tab using middle button, just to open new empty browser tab.

The support demand for October is increasing, while the available time the founders have to give remains the same. These issues will be handled in time, however there are ways you can help:

• Submit a pull request that introduces this feature and wait for it to be reviewed
• Make a financial contribution to the project so we can allocate more time towards making improvements like these that benefit everyone

FINALLY! this annoyance is over! 8648a49 should get rid of it.
