All the little things: Safari quit dialogue

I cannot wait for Leopard now. A little birdie sent us the above screenshot that (allegedly, you can never trust birds) fixes my one major gripe with Safari. Gone will be the days when two errant keystrokes, namely command-Q, send hours of work (and many tabs) to that get web browser in the sky. This is something that should have been built into Safari from the start, but I will gladly welcome it in Leopard.

I still think they should some how set it, or make it an option to switch through tabs with Comand+left/right like in iChat when you have chax

May I call bullshit? The edge of the Safari icon is *very* rough, the word "Safari" in the smaller text seems to have different antialiasing than the rest of the type, and this is *identical* to the Firefox dialogue.

I think they should do it like Opera does, allow you to restore your previous sessions. Also in Opera, you can accidentilly close tabs and bring them back by clicking on the trash-icon on the top right. Opera may not be the most popular, but it usually is ahead of its time.

Even better than this is a new Safari feature: Undo!

If you can close a tab, you can now undo it, and reopen it. Unlike what you're talking about now, this feature seems actually useful. At least, that's according to that Windows forum (AeroXP? or something like that, apologies for forgetting) you cited in one of your post-WWDC Leopard rumor posts the other day.

It'd be interesting to know if this was true or not..

Actually, this feature could not have been built into Safari from the start because back then, Safari did not have tabs at all IIRC.

ugh.

Personaly I hate this sort of Windows-like functionality. I don't want to be asked if I want to do what I just told my computer to do. Yes I do want to do that. That's why I told you to do that.

I would rather have comprehensive undo functionality than to have my every action questioned like I am a child.
