Option for a confirmation prompt before closing a tab

[aminya]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice to have an option so that there is a confirmation prompt before the user closes a tab.

This is useful for long-running tabs that are doing something in the background and the user might close them by mistake.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I would like to work on this issue. Can anyone please guide me on how to proceed ?

Thanks for the suggestion! This is actually already being tracked by another issue on our repo - please refer to #6549 for more discussion.

/dup #6549

@heysujal I wrote a pseudo-spec for this over in #6549 (comment). I haven't had the opportunity to socialize that with the rest of the team really, but if we had code in front of us I'm sure we'd find the time 😝 If you can find a way to detect that there are multiple client apps connected, that might be a useful place to start. ConptyConnection is the class that actually represents the connection between the Terminal and the client app, so that's where I'd start.
