Can you hide the New File (⌘N)—plus button?

#1

Hi Sublime Community,

Can you hide the New File (⌘N)—plus button—see screenshot? I know you can hide the tab arrows buttons with the "enable_tab_scrolling": false option but I wonder if you can hide the plus button. I searched my default Preferences.sublime-settings file for the strings “plus” and “new” but I didn’t find the option I was looking for.

Note: I’m aware this question is sort of absurd. There isn’t anything wrong with the default Sublime Text interface—it’s great and I happily use Sublime every day for the last 5 years—but I was just wondering.

Yes; the setting for that is:

	// Hides the new tab button
	"hide_new_tab_button": false,

Thanks @OdatNurd! Minor correction: should be "hide_new_tab_button": true instead of false.

Indeed; the paste above is from the default settings. I normally call that out when I paste them but this time I forgot, apologies.
