Minus Button on Open Pinned Tabs

Shows a – button instead of ✕ on pinned tabs with a page open, in or out of a folder, like Arc. It closes the page and keeps the tab pinned.

Why use it

The ✕ on a pinned tab removes it. Often you only want to close the page and keep the tab where it is. Dia has a – for that, but only under a folded folder. This gives it to every open pinned tab.

• Handy if you pin tabs you come back to.
• Skip it if you'd rather have ✕ everywhere.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches → Close Button on Pinned Tabs and switch on Minus Button on Open Pinned Tabs. Or run:

diatweaks enable pinnedTabMinusButton

It's off by default. It works with tabs in the sidebar and at the top.

Needs

Close Button on Pinned Tabs. Settings greys out this switch until that's on, and diatweaks enable pinnedTabMinusButton offers to turn it on too.

FAQ

What if the pinned tab has no page open?

It still shows ✕, and ✕ removes the tab, because there's no page to close.

Does it change tabs that already have a –?

No. Tabs under a folded folder and split tabs keep what Dia gives them.
