How to Exit Micro Using a Single KeyPress, When Several Tabs are Open #2788

Hi

Thank you very much for creating micro, it's my favorite Editor on Linux!

I have a question please.

If I run micro with several files as parameteers, to open several tabs, example: micro file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt file4.txt

How can I then exit micro using 1 keypress?

If I press Ctrl-Q, it only closes the current tab, and so, If you have N tabs open, you need to press N times Ctrl-Q in order to quit.. Is there a key that Exits by closing All tabs?

Thank you

There is no default binding to quit all windows, but the QuitAll action will do this, you just have to bind it to a key of your choice in ~/.config/micro/bindings.json.

Thank you very much, I will do it now.

BTW, If I may suggest, maybe a small setting that makes Ctrl-Q to Quit All when more than 1 tab is open, might be useful for other people. (because they may not know of the QuitAll action).

BTW, 1 more thing regarding tabs: If you run: micro file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt file4.txt then you get 4 tabs, and the first tab is the active one. Is it possible to run micro with several files (tabs), and specify which tab # should be the active one?
