<![CDATA[[Suggestion] Ctrl+W closes pinned tabs]]>Whenever I want to close a pinned tab, I have to right-click the tab and find the close tab button. Despite the drop down menu saying you can close pinned tabs with Ctrl+W, you cannot. It would be nice if this functionality gets added.

Seems like a niche shortcut (which is really weird to me but whatever), though so I am not sure whether or not this will every actually be fixed unfortunately. Been over 2 years too 😞 .

Honestly, I would consider this a straight up bug, now that I think about it.
The intended/expected behavior is not actually what occurs here.

Hope they fix it soon. Personally, I'll probably just figure it out with tampermonkey til then.

I was using chrome for past 10 years, recently switched to Opera and this is one of the things that bug me the most. You can't even middle click to close a pinned tab, you just have to right click and select "Close tab". I mean who has time for that? Also not being able to use new tab extensions on Opera is also very infuriating.
