A still-active thread discussing that possibility has been around for nearly four years, though, and has yet to be resolved.Īs one Chromium team member put it back in February of 2016: Instead, the focus is apparently now on tweaking the shortcut so you'd have to hold Ctrl-Shift-Q for a certain amount of time before the fatal tab-closing commences - thus making the command less likely to be activated by mistake. According to one, which dates back to 2010 and is now marked as "closed," the Chrome development team at some point decided against the idea of implementing any sort of confirmation or warning into the shortcut. Multiple threads in the public Chromium issue-tracker talk about the problems of having a keyboard command that closes everything you're working on so swiftly. And I'm not the only one who's been bamboozled by how easy it is to activate that nuclear option. That's what I'm typically trying to do when I hit "Q" instead of "Tab" by mistake. It's infuriatingly close to Ctrl-Shift-Tab, a shortcut that shifts your focus back to the previous tab in your current window. Ctrl-Shift-Q, if you aren't familiar, is a native Chrome shortcut that closes every tab and window you have open without warning. I do - and I've lost count of the number of the times I've accidentally closed all my active Chrome tabs because I hit Ctrl-Shift-Q by mistake.
