Of course not. Many trivial requests have been requested over these years. Several of them (requested at a later time than others) have already been implemented while others are still buried at some posts here in the forum. I'm just saying, it might be better to seek a path not as elegant as Perplexer's suggestion which has a better chance of being implemented now (when the discussion is hot and active) than drop a suggestion, forget it and discover this thread after 2-3 years at a random search and realize it has not been implemented yet.
I've seen several threads here with this pattern.

I heartly endorse this feature. I frequently close TC by mistake, and I feel like a fish taken out of the water

You can get a confirmation on closing TC as follow
1- Pack a text file to ZIP
2- Once TC start, enter above Zip and select the text file then press F4
3- Don't close the editor and you will got a confirmation message every time you try to close TC.
This is funny workaround until we have a dedicating option

Someone has asked this feature on Russian board and I made a plugin AskExit. Plugin may be loaded via Autorun.wdx or directly using color template that uses field AskExit.Autorun (install it as content plugin, go to 'define colors by filetype', 'add', 'define', on plugins tab choose AskExit.Autorun > 0 and save preset; if you already have saved autorun preset for some other plugin, just add another condition on its plugin page). Version for TCx64 is also included.

You may hold Shift to close TC w/o question. Also, you may assign
cm_Exit to any key combination with Shift (e.g. Alt+Shift+F4) - it will work too.

Well, I just added a line to WINCMD.INI
This will just minimize TC to tray if I mistakenly close it.
In the rare case you want to really close TC, you have to explicit choose the main menu entry (but I have not used it for years
)

Some people use F-buttons panel and sometimes click Alt+F4 instead of F8 there (not me).

Or ALT+F4 instead of ALT+F3 (yes, yes, not me, not me...
)

You may redefine Alt+F4 to some other command.
PS. It was really not me=)

I had done it in the past but i found it irritating so i disabled it. I
want to be able to use ALT+F4. Now i just have to find the time to setup the solution provided here...

So, here I am, again, 4 years later.
I just accidentaly closed TC for the one millionth time and I remembered this thread existed.
So is there any chance this "confirm before closing" option will be added to TC ?
Posted: 2013-10-21, 10:05 UTC
by MVV
Natively - I doubt. Using plugin - read
my post above how to enable confirmation on close.

Meanwhile, here is an interim solution.
Code: Select all
Loop
{
WinWait, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
WinWaitClose, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
Run, c:\Totalcmd\Totalcmd.exe
}

You cannot avoid it completely, but you can minimize TC instead of closing it. From the help:
[Configuration]
MinimizeOnClose=0
Minimize main window instead of closing it.
Sum of:
1: when clicking on [X] button
2: On Alt+F4 keyboard shortcut
4: Click on function key button "Alt+F4 Exit"
Note: Shift key forces close
TotalConfirmExit utility

Adding one the list - besides
MVV's handy plugin you can use a tiny tool to achieve this task too.
You can download it by clicking here:
TotalConfirmExit v1.0.0.1 (270 kB)
Features:
- no need to load/run it all the time - just run it once, restart TC and it works
- show a confirmation dialog when pressing Alt+F4 or Alt+X
- fully multilingual
(supports the same languages as TC itself)
- portable
(auto-installs itself to usercmd.ini & in case its placed to TC's main folder, it saves its current path using env.variables, relative to TC's path)
Command line switches:
/enablemenu - enable the Exit menu item in the title bar of TC
/showconfirm - show the confirmation dialog (exit:yes/no)
/noinstall - do not automatically install the utility to the usercmd.ini
/uninstall - remove the utility from the usercmd.ini & wincmd.ini
TODO:
- need to find a proper language string/combination of more, which matches even more for the current task (used item atm: 168 - any ideas?).

Very interesting. Can you please explain how it accomplishes the "exit confirmation"? Does it use a plugin?
