Description

Hello

Please add option to set prefferable position of "Close tab" to be "on right" (current behavior) and "on the left" (desired behavior).

Image

This option will allow me as user to keep mouse in upper leftmost position and close all tabs one by one faster because close button will always be on same place.
Middle click to close tab would also be a good option.

Also, on "Save query changes?" dialog, a keyboard shortcut "N" for "Don't save" (or adequate for localization "no" word) would be great.

Image

I hope you will find these UI suggestions useful and implement them.

Kind regards,
Ivo

Research direction

Start by locating the tab UI responsible for the close-tab button and the “Save query changes?” dialog. Review how existing user options and keyboard shortcuts are implemented. Done means the close-button position can be configured and the requested dialog shortcut works consistently, with behavior covered by the project’s relevant checks.
