Prompt before closing the app when a process is running

[tleunen]

Related to #623. Would it be possible to have a prompt before quitting the app when a process is running? It could help to prevent quitting the app with an ongoing process that we won't be able to kill without manually killing the PID.

Hi there! I would like to take a stab at this feature if possible.

I've already managed to hook up to the window close event and display a prompt to the user, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to determine if there is an ongoing process in a tab.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Sorry if it's a silly question, this is my first time contributing to hyperterm. Thank you for the project, having a blast using it! :)

Perhaps take a look at how gnome-terminal does it?

I was just going to open an issue for this and ran across this one. 😄

Particularly since I'm not used to Ctrl-W closing the tab (except in web browser), I've already been bit by this a number of times and ⚡ lost all of the processes I had running in a window that I accidentally closed. Would love to see this one implemented. 👍

I was going to suggest the exact same thing as @NicholasWalton: Perhaps take a look at how gnome-terminal does it... Their prompt looks like this:

Still open?

Hi,

Is this Feature still available to work on?

@kevin-bebel and @jpolack, you could look to my PR and add some fixes!

#2477

Looks like the PR is stale. I'm going to give this a shot myself.

So any updates on this? I need this feature as a temporary solution for #623. Did the corresponding PR for this get merged? If yes, how to enable it in hyper? Thanks
