Feature request - close all tabs but this

[mikus]

Can we have a 'Clost all but this'/'Close other tabs' option like in visual studio/chrome/etc ?

Thx!

sorry I don't understand how this is relevant

All tabs are closed, even locked ones. But TC panel must contain at least one tab. So, only the current (active) tab remains. It is that you requested, isn't it?

I guess the thread starter wants an operation that does not only works on the current tab but also in inactive tabs.

[mikus]

ah I see
so if I switch to the tab and then do 'close all tabs' that get's me what I need.
confusing that 'close all tabs' does leave at least one tab open but workable.
Thx!

Uh, this option is already there, isn't it? "Close all tabs" (Ctrl+Shift+W) when right-clicking the tabs does exactly that: it closes all but the active tab.

Yes, but it doesn't close locked tabs (both locking modes). My script does

OK. The OP didn't mention locked tabs, so I didn't take them into account (also because I don't use locked tabs myself).

For me the reason for using locked tabs
is that they are not closed by "Close all tabs".
This way I can close alle temporarily opened tabs
without loosing importand others.

In comments to my script I've suggested the following key in the configuration:

Reaction to "Close All Tabs" command:
[ ] Close all
[ ] Close unlocked only
[ ] Prompt for each locked

Or, add one more tab-context command:

Code: Select all

Close all tabs
Close only unlocked tabs     Ctrl+Shift+W
