    I just open things in new tabs with the mouse wheel click, then press ctrl-w to close the tab.

    I don’t play their games

        Yeah but I’m already on the keyboard at that point. Easier for me to ctrl w to close the current tab then it is to move my hand and move the cursor to the tab then middle mouse again.

        Very recently have I started in the habit of ctrl tab and ctrl shift tab to change tabs instead of even clicking them.

        I’d love to throw the mouse in the garbage for day to day tasks tbh.

          Yup, same, my workflow is very keyboard centric. But sometimes I’m just reading a bunch of stuff and scrolling (scrolling on anything other than my ThinkPad w/ trackpoint sucks IMO), so I already have my mouse in hand.

          It’s good to have options. I figured someone may be unaware that you can middle-click to close tabs.
