Is there any way to customize or add logic to the confirm on exit dialog in kitty?

[embeddedpenguin]

I'd like for the prompt to ask me if I'm sure I'd like to exit unless the only program running is tmux. Is this currently possible?

No, it isnt.

Would you be open to a patch implementing an option for a list of programs to ignore when confirming a window close? If so, how does the feature currently work with respect to jobs started in the terminal? Does it just use the job in the foreground of the shell? I guess why I'm asking is it already has to exclude the active shell the window contains.

                    program = os.path.basename((w.child.foreground_cmdline or ('',))[0])
                    if w is active_window:
                        active_program = program

Looks like it only cares about whats in the fg, so implementing this should be as easy as adding a check here against the active program, x3 for window close, tab close, and quit

Actually, I think this is a poor solution. Going to think about it and come back with a proposal.

Oh and I should note that while you cannot configure the builtin confirm_on_exit action, you can write a custom kitten that implements an exit action that does whatever you like. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/custom/

Hey that's what my proposal was going to be 😆 Thanks!
