Use a free plug-in to add 'close on middle click' to Safari
Apr 15, '08 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: joeyGibson
Firefox has a neat feature for people with multi-button mice: clicking a tab with the middle button will close that tab. Safari doesn't have this feature, but using SIMBL and this free plug-in I wrote, you can have it. I've tested this on Safari 3.1 on Leopard, and Safari 3.0 on Tiger, and it works in both OSes and Safari versions.

Use a free plug-in to add 'close on middle click' to Safari
I'm sure some will appreciate it, but by and large Input Managers = Bad. Every time there is a Safari, WebKit, or OS update there's a slew of reports of crashes and other bad behavior that is traced back to input managers or "haxies". They're the INITs of OS X.

Even more evidence of why Input Managers are a Bad Thing:

Input Managers are hacks
I just want to second the other commenter and point out that Input Managers are NOT Plugins, they are hacks. You can read details here: http://www.macjournals.com/news/inputmanagerhacks.html.

And to add to all of this, for me, they most always never work. SIMBL or Input Managers just fail to do anything at all.

Isn't this the same functionality as left-clicking the close button of the tab?
About time!
Oh, this is a godsend! I was growing so frustrated with only having the option of clicking the tab close button, or right-clicking and choosing "Close Tab," or pressing command-W, to close my Safari tabs.

Personally, I much prefer using mouse gestures, but kudos for the effort and I hope someone finds it helpful. :)

i think i would rather assign my middle button to close any window than to go SIMBL. ew. |
