I would also prefer to be saved from mistakenly closing my pinned tabs.

What if you had to hold Command-W to close a pinned tab, similar to how Command-Q works?

I would also vote for this.  Issue 66588  dismisses the idea based on that it would limit users using keyboard shortcuts, but since there is now way of pinning a tab using keyboard shortcuts that makes no sense to me.

Please let us have no more closed pinned tabs with ctrl+w.

Best regards,
Christian
