Is there anyway to set a certain mouse combo (such as middle click + right click) to close a tab?

I know this use to be the case, but I can't seem to do it anymore. Originally it was middle click would close a tab. However now my middle click is assigned to "ctrl".

You can middle click on a tab on the Tab bar to close that tab. If you have disabled that feature by reassigning the middle mouse button then you won't be able to do it unless you have a close button on each tab to click on.
