Tab Open/Close Study

[Yarcod]

I noticed this study only tracks if I have stayed on the default tab
after closing one. I don't know how important this is, but I
frequently close the next default tab after closing one. Quite often
I'll ctrl+click and open tons of tabs, then read each one at a time,
and then close a bunch.

Ha, I was just coming here to say the same thing. But I'll add
something important:

I frequently close a ton of tabs all within seconds of each other.
However, when I close a single tab, rarely do I stay at the existing
tab. So the relevant results are skewed, because I'm showing about 65%
stayed. 90% of those must be coming from what I affectionately call
"tab-closing parties" ...

So don't make any big decisions based on this single stat. Analyze
timings and frequency as well.

Hi Yarcod and Purefusion,

Thanks for the email! For the use case you mentioned and use case for "miss selecting",  which will have very, very low display times -- we set use 300msec based upon GOMS numbers to filter them into different category.

Also, the timing is set as 5 seconds to defining either people "stay" or "switch". We will be happy to discuss with you on these numbers if you are interested.

Could you please describe more on your behavior of "tab-closing parties"? are those tabs you close all near to each other, or they could be all over across the menu bar? (those behaviors many change how we filter data due to the GOMS numbers.)

Jinghua

Usually they're right next to each other. My preferred method of
closing is to keep my mouse in the same place and keep clicking until
all the tabs I want closed are closed. Often this isn't possible
because the tabs change size.
