> Sorry, I meant to write disabling notebook tab close buttons.

I didn't even realize that option existed until now. I would guess users who do that, it is because they use the keybindings.

> One downside to this is that you have to move the mouse further to click the menu button than before... A simpler solution to this pull would be to move the fixed commands above the notebook tab item list. 

I was going to suggest doing that until I saw this PR for splitting it which seems nicer. I personally don't think it's a big deal that you move your mouse to a different location.

> But we should also consider frequency of use - I would guess Close would be used more often than Open in New Window.

I would guess the large majority of users don't disable the tab close buttons and of those that do, don't use the menu to close tabs. Personally I don't think I've _ever_ used to item to close a single document from that menu, though I use all of the others often.

> Closing a single document is not a drastic action.

Indeed, but it's more "drastic" than not closing any document.
