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 prefer saft myself. Who needs a warning about open tabs when you have a program that will simply restart you right where you left off? The couple times I've had safari decide to quit on it's own I've been quite happy to have it.

Daniel, I composed this post (and this comment) in Camino. :)
vonBmac, Saft is cool but I think this functionality should be built into the browser.

Hey Scott, you really should try Taboo from http://www.ocdev.com which utilizes the SIMBL Framework to warn you when quitting Safari..

This really pisses me off too. When God created the keyboard, I really wish he didn't put Q and W right next to each other.

Makes Safari that much more usable.

I always disable that popup in Firefox because when I close out of multiple tabs, I usually (95% of the time) know that I'm closing them down.

Holy crap! I just tried Camino and it's awesome! I didn't like Safari because it was so slow, and Firefox is full of bugs. I loved OmniWeb, but didn't feel like paying for a browser. Camino is perfect, thank you!

Actually, if you use Saft, you can set a preference to display a dialog alost identical to this one when closing a window with tabs.

I disabled the Command-Q keystroke in Interface Builder - no more problems.

Taboo (see link at comment 6) works GREAT and makes closing tabs accidently unlikely and gives me the feature now not sometime in the future. Make sure latest SIMBL is installed or it won't work . My primary browser is Firefox though.

there is a program called Taboo that does exactly this for 10.4 and anything else.... this screenshot is probably from that.

Opera has done this for years. You close out and all your tabs reopen to last location when you reopen. You never miss or forget where you where.
