We'll use this to track the work to connect #1589 to the close button.

Would be nice if it will be configurable per profile. I don't need confirmation when closing cmd tab, but might need one if I'm using SSH

I am using the terminal app together with the WLS and R.

If I am in a similar situation using Ubuntu the terminal asks if I close a tab that contains a running process. If I have a resting tab with just the command prompt waiting for some input I can close the tab without any questions, but if I have an R or ssh session running I get the confirmation dialogue.

I think this would actually be the best way to make everybody kind of happy - right?

New user here, and am loving the new Windows Terminal. In regards to the 'Prompt on close' Can there please be a 'Remember my answer' option to prevent it from coming up every time if we don't want it to? Or can this be done in the Setting .json file?

Thanks in advance!

You can set confirmCloseOnExit to false. Check out the documentation! 😄

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Jun 20, 2020): You can set `confirmCloseOnExit` to `false`. Check out [the documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/global-settings#hide-close-all-tabs-popup)! :smile:

Is there a way to always confirm when closing (even with a single tab)? I just hit Alt+F4 by mistake on a Terminal window which was half way through a PowerShell script and wasn't prompted. I'm not sure if there's a way to detect a running action, but ideally it should never exit without prompt while a script or similar is running in the window imho.

Huge thanks
Fotis

I've got about 50% of the spec written over in: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6549#issuecomment-675494526. Just needs time to flush that out to a proper doc, and implement it.

The confirmCloseAllTabs is not enough. It needs to confirm also if only one tab but multiple windows in that tab is present. I just work and time now because it closes without confirmation... 😒

How about hiding the close X except on the active tab? Typically the ones I accidentally close are not the tab I'm currently active in (because I'm trying to switch tabs). Perhaps if you hover long enough on the tab the X appears, but it seems like it would prevent a lot of accidents if you have to activate the tab first before you can close it.
