Tab close buttons on left in Midori

[Danielle Foré]

The tab close buttons should be on the left in Midori. This is a hidden option in .config/midori/config

What is the key/value pair?

Heh, I just found this via google, because I thought thats this is just wrong: all my other apps have the close button on the right of the tab (one of the reasons why I keep putting the close-window-button to the right of the titlebar).

So - was there an easy key to change? Or is this in the code?

I'd either need to change midori OR thunderbird, marlin, empathy, ... ;) - just for consistencie's sake.

Used google some more and found:

close-buttons-left=true
in
/etc/xdg/midori/config
Wich is probably supposed to enable this behaviour. But changing it to false doesn't move the button to the right? Also writing that line in .config/midori/config won't work. (one crash and then the settings are back to "no extra line in there").

I believe that the the behavior in Midori is "automatic" now. You don't have to set a key, Midori just detects what side the window close button is on. So if you move you window close buttons to the right, the tab button should move as well.
