I would like to suggest adding the ability to lock App Tabs so they cannot be closed separately.
The reason for that is that on OSX cmd+w closes a window without shutting down the program.
Now with several tabs open it is simply a matter of keeping cmd+w pressed until all tabs and the window are closed.
With App Tabs however this workflow is no longer possible since then all App Tabs are also closed which defeats the purpose of having App Tabs in the first place.
So with App Tabs I am required to click the close button with my mouse which is annoying.
It is particularly annoying since this workflow works in 'all' other browsers and OSX programs.
An alternative would be to give App Tab closing a different keyboard shortcut binding.
