Do people really not know that Chrome has an option to reopen itself with the tabs you had open last? Preferences > Basics > On Startup > Reopen the pages that were open last.
I think the Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut to reopen closed tabs works across sessions too.

On the other hand, in Dvorak, Q is directly above the left ⌘ key (where X usually is), and W is directly above the right ⌘ key (where , usually is). I'm always reminded of this serendipitous symmetry whenever people complain about ⌘Q and ⌘W being adjacent on QWERTY.
absolutely. this is a wonderful thing...i may close a lot of windows, but i don't usually quit the entire program unless i mean to.
Most browsers warn you if you are about to close multiple tabs.... I guess chrome doesn't? Weird. That would be an implementation problem for chrome - every other OSX application tends to properly warn you if you are about to close multiple context windows with cmd-q. EDIT: Just researching a bit- this seems to be a conflict between the Chromium design goals and the OSX UI guidelines... the Chrome team absolutely ref…
The latest developer version of Chrome (9.x) has an experimental warning dialog in "about:flags".
The only flag relating to tabs I can see is the first one to put the tabs down the side.
I think the worst design decision was putting the print button next to the save button. I've definitely sent code files in excess of 50k lines to some unknown printer before by accident.

Where? I have 9.0.570.1 on Windows 7 (32-bit) and I don't see such an option in the about:flags. The only flag relating to tabs I can see is the first one to put the tabs down the side.
Incidentally, the "@" sign, as many other characters, is on a different key on the German Mac layout. Never understood why e.g. the US layout stays the same on every system, but the German one doesn't. Good time that I switched to the US one long ago. Now I only have to fight with different ways to access umlauts…

Well yes, but if you have 20+ tabs open in a couple of windows, it's disruptive and time consuming to close and reopen all of them.

The reason it's not normally a problem is that if you're working on a document and you hit ⌘Q (or ⌘W for that matter) you will be prompted to save your changes. However, this does become a problem in web browsers and file browsers where there are no changes to save. Apparently in the early days of OS X the NEXTSTEP guys wanted to add a ⌘Q shortcut to Finder, which would log you out of OS X. As the story goes, some pe…
