Title: XFCE4 Terminal how to enable quit warning for multiple tabs open & tasks running
Post by: kamui on October 08, 2021, 01:36:08 PM
Hello, guys!
I accidentally checked the box for disabling the quit warning for xfce4 terminal when tasks aren't done. How can I enable it back?

EDIT:
I should reformulate.
My terminal was popping up a Warning window which asked if I really want to close my terminal session when multiple tabs are open or if i want to quit when there's an on-going task.
Below is the behaviour before checking the box.

I accidentally checked the box with Don't ask me again and now my terminal doesn't pop up that Warning anymore.
How can I enable it back?

Go to >Settings >Settings Editor >xfce4-appfinder >find the string: exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator %s and change it to below:
Code: [Select]
exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator --hold %s
I think it is disabled by default in LL so you didn't accidentally disable it.

I tried what you've said, but it did not work.

Open the file ~/yourusername/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc with mousepad and change the value for confirm close to:
Code: [Select]
MiscConfirmClose=TRUEAlso see here: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/4.14/advanced
