- Use middle wheel button to create tabs when used on the drive letter pane.
- Use middle wheel button on current tab to close it (same as Firefox)

Ok thats fine except what do you click on to create a tab when there is no tab strip in sight (no tabs already open)?

There is a tool button you can add by doing the right click>customize thing, which adds a 'Browse the focused item in a new tab' button on your tool bar

I'm looking for this option, and don't find it !

Do you know how to open and close tabs by clicking the mousewheel button (firefox behavior)?
It's the last option I need to have a perfect x2

I use x2 pro

thx

AFAIK, there is not yet a consensus for which of the newer mouse buttons (like mousewheel-click on most wheel mice and side buttons on some 'advanced' mice) to add to x2.

I would prefer mousewheel-click to close a tab (NOT the current d-click)

I see benefit to the firefox "open new tab upon mousewheel-click" on a site; but NOT what happens upon mousewheel-click on a folder: every site in the folder gets a tab opened.

What is needed is a good discussion of the various newer mouse buttons and a consensus on which is worth supporting for what functions.
(So far I only recall disparate requests.)

And all this may have to wait for the hoped-for future major version upgrade which supports user customization of hotkeys & mouse buttons, etc.

Thx fgagnon !

Indeed, a good discussion about that will be the best solution.
In fact, the two changes ain't too difficult to program I think :

- Replace the d-click by the wheel-click to close. (or both)
- Save a click by using the wheel-click instead of clicking the tab button in the toolbar.

Is it possible just to add this ?

When u say "every site in the folder gets a tab opened", this option is great too and already exists in x2 with the folder groups.

Anyway, I can wait for the next release !
