Feature Request - Hide close button on tabs - (or warn)

[nawlbergs]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Ability to remove the Close button on tabs... or Warn when closing a single tab.
Its not hard to accidently close a tab (especially if you rename the tab with a short name). I've done it many times.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Setting (similar to "Warn when closing more than one tab") to remove the close button on tabs or Warn on single tab closure.
If Close button removed... right clicking would still allow you to close the tab. (obviously).

I want to not accidentally close tabs.

You can hide the close button! Open your settings and click on "Open JSON file". Add the following to the end of the file under "themes":

{
    "name": "Dark (no close button)",
    "tab": 
    {
        "background": "terminalBackground",
        "showCloseButton": "never",
        "unfocusedBackground": "#00000000"
    },
    "tabRow": 
    {
        "background": null,
        "unfocusedBackground": "#333333FF"
    },
    "window": 
    {
        "applicationTheme": "dark",
        "useMica": false
    }
}

You can now select the "Dark (no close button)" in the Appearance settings

The only way to close the tab now is via Ctrl+Shift+W. We're working on a fix to close it via the middle mouse button over at #15517.

That's the best solution I found so far and can confirm it's working as advertised.
@lhecker Cheers for saving me countless hours of googling it.
