### Overview

This simple script adds a confirmation dialog when you click the lister window's close button, allowing you to confirm or cancel the closure.

You can hold a qualifier key (shift, alt, ctrl) while clicking the close button to suppress the confirmation.

If Windows or Opus are being shutdown entirely, the confirmation will not appear, so that it does not delay shutting down the machine.
