Since I don't use Chrome, I had to look it up, that Ctrl-Shift-Q closes all tabs and windows. I hardly think the solution is to implement an annoying popup on every page. It doesn't take much more that a few lines of AHK code to implement an "Are you sure..." dialog, that works on every page without hindering other users.

I dislike pages applying such measures; it's not the website's role to second guess/interfere with my actions outside of the page.
At any given time I have open various browser windows with maaany tabs. If I accidentally close a tab, I undo it. If I want to prevent that, I protect the tab. There is one website I have open sometimes in multiple tabs, and once I try to close the window, I get prevented to do so until on each of those tabs I confirm I'm certain I want to leave the page, which is non of the website's business.

i am havy debugging some big ahk and have often close all ahks for some reason.
how you do it?
or may save the text into
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/201 ... calstorage
var testObject = { 'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3 };
// Put the object into storage
localStorage.setItem('testObject', JSON.stringify(testObject));
// Retrieve the object from storage
var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('testObject');
console.log('retrievedObject: ', JSON.parse(retrievedObject));

You could easily add a greasemonkey script, with something like...
Code: Select all
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (event) {
if (true) //check for text len in reply box...
{
event.returnValue = true;
return true;
}
});
I dont think we want this as default behaviour as webbrowsers should refrain from affecting the user's control...
