Ctrl W Don't Close Pinned Tabs

This Chrome extension simulates Firefox's behavior on the hotkey Ctrl-W on a pinned tab; it does NOT close the tab.

Usage

Usage example

You need to explicitly bind the key to ctrl+w in "Keyboard Shortcuts" in chrome://extensions/ to use the functionality (as in the screenshot above). This is not possible to do automatically.

Known issues

The extension can't close DevTools windows correctly (due to safety limitations in the tabs API); see this issue. This will not be fixed.
