Microsoft Edge, prevent pinned tabs from closing

Hi,

I recently changed to Microsoft Edge as my primary browser, and I am pretty satisfied with it. My only gripe is that I cannot prevent my pinned tabs from closing when I accidentally press CTRL+W. In Vivaldi, for example, you first need to unpin the tab before you're able to close it. I also haven't seen an option to switch between the last created tabs. Is this stuff that's upcoming or am I supposed to fall back on extensions?

Thanks.

    I have the same issue with edge: Pinned Tabs should not close with Ctrl W or middle click. IMO they should close only if one right clicks on the page and presses "Close this pinned tab"
