I don't want to add it to the same extension. So I have now made a new
extension that should do what you want. It is at
http://www.sstuhr.dk/epiphany-extensions/ like the others, "Middle Click
Tab Close". It disables scroll on the tab bar, too.

I don't know about preferences. I don't want to add too much to the UI,
I like it better when extensions do what I want without being in the
way. And I certainly wouldn't like it if every other extension added a
menu item for their separate preferences dialogs.

Maybe it should be possible to have preferences dialogs for loaded
extension, that could be opened from the extensions manager.

While I do use gedit for text editing, I don't use it in the same way as
a web browser. I am not even sure I want to use such an extension for
gedit. And while gedit does support developing Python extensions, it's
not a thing I want to do currently.
