Description of the new feature/enhancement

A dialog box pops up saying "Do you want to close all tabs?" when we have multiple tabs open. Pls add a setting so that we can set it to never show again. If a user does not want to see that dialog box again and again when having multiple tabs open and closing the terminal window, he/she can turn on the setting.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

  1. Support a setting so that the dialog box "Do you want to close all tabs?" can be set to never show again can be set to never show again
  2. Make sure that when it is on, the dialog box does not shows up and when it is off, the dialog box shows up.

This already exists - search the docs for "closeOnExit": "always"

(On mobile, so I can't link this up nicely)

Yes, i found it, but I do not see an option in the ui. Do I have to set it through the json file?

Yes, this worked.

This does not work.

You have this command to hide it:
"confirmCloseAllTabs": false

What does this have to do with my post about another parameter?

I meant that that command is for something else, you have to use "confirmCloseAllTabs": false to hide the dialog box.

My apologies for leading everyone astray. That's what I get for trying to triage at 3am.

With a baby sleeping on me.

On a saturday.

😅

Glad this got sorted out!
