I’ve been using Dia and really enjoy the Tab Preview experience (the command-palette style view that shows open tabs, recently closed tabs, history, and bookmarks, similar to the screenshot). After using it for a while, I noticed one small but very useful feature that seems to be missing: the ability to close tabs directly from this preview view.

Right now, Tab Preview helps me:

• Quickly see all open tabs
• See recently closed tabs
• Jump to history, bookmarks, and chats & files

However, when I want to clean up my workspace (especially older or low-priority tabs), I have to:

1. Find the tab in the preview list
2. Click it to switch to that tab
3. Then close it from the sidebar/tab strip

This flow is a bit slow and breaks the focus when I’m trying to do a quick cleanup session.

Feature request

I’d love Tab Preview to support:

• Closing tabs directly from the Open Tabs / Recently Closed / History lists in the preview view.
• This could be implemented as:
  • A small x button that appears when hovering over a tab entry, or
  • A right-click or three-dot context menu with options like “Close tab”, “Close others”, “Close tabs to the right”, etc.

Why this would help

• Makes tab cleanup much faster from a single, centralized place.
• Reduces context switching between the command-palette view and the sidebar.
• Strengthens the “command palette / spotlight” feeling of Dia: search, navigate, take actions, and clean up — all in one focused interface.

If the Dia team and the community also find this useful, I’d be really happy to see this considered in a future update. It’s a small UI/UX change, but it would make tab management feel much smoother and more powerful.

Thanks for reading!
