  I assume you're talking about Libinput's virtual middle mouse button for buttonless touchpads when using the default "areas" click mode. IMO this is a library problem that we should not work around in apps. You can tell Libinput to use "fingers" rather than "areas" mode and then middle-clicking requires three fingers which is much more difficult to do accidentally. Our touchpad KCM allows configuring this, though we don't make it the default because we respect upstream defaults. We could consider overriding that and using the "fingers" click method by default the way we currently override upstream defaults to force better font hinting in the Fonts KCM.

  Exactly. If tab closing is undoable, then closing accidentally is no big deal at all.
