Bug Description
The New Tab keyboard shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+T, and the Close Tab shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+W. On a Dvorak keyboard, T and W are right next to each other (they are in the positions of K and comma on an English QWERTY keyboard). Therefore it is too easy to hit Close Tab by mistake when you want a new tab.
It would be nice if the Ctrl-Shift-W shortcut could ask for confirmation, especially if a program is running. Or if it could be disabled altogether.
(If you accidentally close a tab in Firefox, you can easily get it back. But not so in Terminal - you might have had a very complex program running in that tab....)
