Description of the new feature

Quite often when changing the tabs with mouse i accidentaly close the tab.
While similar things is not a problem when using a browser, as i can reopen the tab, in terminal it is a hassle, as we dont restore the state when we reopen it ;)

This becomes more of a problem when a user has multiple tabs, as the tabs get smaller.
Also with touch screen its easy to close a tab by accident.

Proposed technical implementation details

Option in settings to enable "Confirm to close", and then display a confirmation window on close, or something similar, eventually option to make specific profile as "confirm to close"
