Originally created by @0ric1 on GitHub (Mar 25, 2020).

When closing the Windows Terminal with multiple tabs a dialog opens "Do you want to close all tabs?" with two buttons "Close all" and "Cancel".
I would like to see a third button or checkbox "Never ask again" because it would save a lot of unnecessary clicks - I see that I have multiple tabs open and when I close the terminal it is clear that all tabs are closed - in Firefox there exists a similar dialog, see
e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/1183272/re-enable-the-multiple-tabs-close-warning-in-firefox-50/1271027
Thanks

Thanks for the request! There's an option you can set in your profiles.json called confirmCloseAllTabs. If you set it to false, you will never be asked again.

Here's a link to current docs (as of Oct. 2020) on the matter from MSFT, in case this helps future travelers.

Well, I just opened %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json and there is no option in the profiles.json by default.

For those of you who had no idea WHERE to put this, this is what worked for me...

First, Open your profiles.json file:

Terminal (stable / general release): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
Terminal (preview release): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
Terminal (unpackaged: Scoop, Chocolately, etc): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\settings.json

Then, all the way at the bottom enter the following "confirmCloseAllTabs": false

I had made a couple of changes to my file so the "end" where I entered this now looks like:

"showTerminalTitleInTitlebar": false,
"tabWidthMode": "titleLength",
"confirmCloseAllTabs": false

}

Hope this helps.

Clarification for future readers, I think what @githik999 is trying to say is Ctrl+F for copyFormatting or something similar and stick ConfirmCloseAllTabs":false, in that block. This isn't at the very bottom as some of the other comments mention, in fact for me it's very far from the bottom, perhaps some of my theme customization makes my setup different from most people. I hope this helps.
