Vertical Tabs - Option to flip X button left/right

[afred]

When using vertical tabs with the sidebar on the right side of the screen, with expand-on-hover, the X (close tab) button will always be where the mouse is hovered when the sidebar expands. This leads to accidentally closing tabs.

Solution: add option to flip the 'X' button so it is left-aligned in the tab instead of right-aligned.

While i'm not sure this is the perfect way to solve this, it seems at least trivially easy to implement, and should fix this issue entirely.

I use vertical tabs with 'expand side-bar on hover'. The 'X' to close unwanted tabs is on the right; it is difficult to select because the side-bar hides when I try to select it.
It would be helpful to put the 'X' on the left. For now, I will try moving the sidebar to the right.
