[Geany-Users] Auto-close plugin for brackets

[Павел Рощин]

Middle click is expectable action for closing sub-windows in many
applications. Recently middle mouse button started to use as fast
closing action for tabs. IIRC first introduced this feature were
Mozilla Firefox web-browser, but there are many apps you may see same
behaviour. I didn't noticed any existing action by middle-click on
sidebar in Geany.

Of course, it may be configurable because some people prefer to click
twice (right-click + click on close button) but this is not fast enough
for me, sometimes I have to close 10-20 files in a row. I think there
are some people faced with this problem too. I'm talking about people
who disabled tabs in preferences and uses sidebar only (middle-click
works on tabs but not sidebar and those who disabled tabs have no way
to close documents in a row).

Maybe my case is very special (I use Geany to open hundreds of files on
tens of programming languages). If nobody wants it - it will be my own
patch:) But I think having this disabled by default if prefs shouldn't
hurt.
