desktop: add pinned tabs #62969
Description
Summary
Please add a way to pin tabs in the Linux desktop app. Important sessions can be closed by mistake, and pinned tabs would keep them easy to find and protect them from actions like “close other tabs.” This would make it much easier to work across several sessions. Please consider this an important feature request.
Why this matters
People often keep long-running or frequently used sessions open alongside temporary ones. Pinning would help protect important work and make session management safer.
Suggested behavior
- Let users pin and unpin a tab.
- Keep pinned tabs visually distinct and easy to find.
- Do not close pinned tabs when using “close other tabs.”

Thanks for the request! You're asking for pinned tabs in the Desktop app: pin and unpin a tab, show pinned tabs differently so they're easy to find, and have "Close other tabs" leave them open, so important long-running sessions don't get closed by mistake. Maintainers will consider it.

This can't be built as a Desktop plugin today, because plugins can't change the tab menu or how tabs are closed.
