I am trying to close the pinned tab in Firefox 27.0.1 using Vimperator 3.8.2 using the d key, such as Gmail pinned tab on the picture above

enter image description here

but I receive the following message:

cannot close an app tab. Use :tabclose!

used :tabclose but still the same message.

  • Are you looking for a shortcut to unpin it? The whole point of pinned tabs is that they never close.

  • But sometimes we need to close muliple pinned tabs. That is how life is. And when we wan to, life gets very tough.

The command :tabclose! includes an exclamation mark. Exclamation marks are commonly used in vim to perform an operation defeating safety mechanisms, for example w! will write over a write-protected file, first removing the readonly attribute. And q! will quit discarding unsaved changes.

  • Oh. So that exclamation mark is actually part of the command. Thanks heaps.
