Quickly close other tabs in Safari
Authored by: bobinchicago on Jun 17, '05 12:02:39AM

I'm using Panther, so I'm confused. First, I'm not sure why this is an improvement when it violates a UI rule dating back to the Mac Plus, that using the Option modifier on a close action closes all instances. Option-click *should* close all tabs. Second, since under Panther you can click any arbitrary tab's close icon to close it whether frontmost or background, why is a change needed?

(I do note that the hint says it "closes all open tabs" as opposed to "closes all tabs." But I'm unclear what an "open tab" is that differs from a tab that isn't frontmost. But even if there's a distinction I've missed because I haven't upgraded, it's still a UI issue...)
