Close duplicate tabs - on contextual menu of list of all tabs

Close duplicate tabs - on contextual menu of list of all tabs.

Scenario:
Ctrl+Shift+A
Right click mouse - you get the contextual menu applicable on tabs from list.

Often I saw that I have a lot of tabs doubled.
In this case, it is very complicated to remove duplicates.

I know, RMC on tabs gave me the opportunity to remove duplicates, but I think it can be useful to simplify the way to do things.

I don't understand this reqeust
What should be simpler than the current RMC option to remove duplicates ?

I use how much I can keyboard, because is more productive (for me).
So, instead RMC I use Ctrl+Shift+A and I have no option to remove duplicates.
I know, I know - focus on tabs - but there is not yet a command cm_FocusTabsLeft/cm_FocusTabsRight after that activate the contextual menu - that doesn't have yet the command cm_ContextTabsMenu.

I think using the existing command cm_CloseDuplicateTabs (3017) is the simplest way to implement an important function accessible by keyboard.

BTW, I saw a lot of suggestion wrote here implemented after few years.
Personal, I'm not in a hurry.

3017,4006,3017,4006 or 4006,3017,4006,3017 ?

But I support the parameters to the command by analogy with CM_CLOSEALLTABS. Or it's possible to add a new parameter to it.

that doesn't have yet the command cm_ContextTabsMenu.

We do - it is called: cm_DirTabsShowMenu

Thank you petermad!

This can be a solution.
I made a shortcut and... I can use the keyboard. YEEEESSSS!
But... the commands cm_DirTabsShowMenuLeft and cm_DirTabsShowMenuRight are missing too.

Anyway, it is a huge step forward.

I still request the next step, adding cm_CloseDuplicateTabs for closing duplicate tabs - on contextual menu of list of all tabs. As into scenario above with keyboard shortcut Ctrl+sh**+A I am already in the list of tabs and I see the duplicate tabs. I must return (Esc) to the main behavior, again I will access cm_ContextTabsMenu through keyboard shortcut that I have set, go to the Close Duplicate Tabs and then again Ctrl+Shift+A to be in the same place. A lot of steps insetead of one.
I began to be an old man (50+, not very old) and I can forget what for I was there )))))
I'm kidding, I think you understand....

On the other hand, the laziness, not necessity, is the true mother of inventions. Think about it.
Bill Gate says: I will always lazy person to do a difficult job... because, he will find a easy way to do it.

Even ChatGPT says now:

Laziness, or the desire to make things easier and more efficient, has often been a driving force behind many inventions and discoveries throughout history. For example, the invention of the wheel allowed for easier transportation and the ability to move heavy loads with less effort. The invention of machines such as the printing press and the steam engine also greatly increased productivity and efficiency. Additionally, many technological advancements in recent history, such as personal computers and smartphones, have their roots in the desire to make tasks more convenient and to save time and effort.It's also worth noting that laziness can lead to creativity and problem-solving, as people seek new and efficient ways to accomplish tasks. This can lead to unexpected and groundbreaking discoveries and inventions.

If we see from the very beginning then it could be find out that there is laziness behind many inventions. Laziness drives innovations that improve productivity. It comes from saying, “There must be a better way.”

We are all here to help Christian Ghisler to do a better job, related to Total Commander.
Behind any suggestion can be a great idea, not mine exactly neccessary. Mr. Ghisler will pick the relevant ones.

As you always do, even we can do this if we can see a better way to do things, better than now. And NOW is always in changing.

Support++, if it is implemented in the way, that after you have chosen "Close duplicate tabs" in the context menu of the Folder Tabs list, then not only are the tabs closed, but the list stays open, but now showing the reduced list of tabs. That is, so I dont have to open the Folder Tabs list again to see the reduced list.

If I think about it, all related commands are welcome to be on contextual menu of list of all tabs:
- Close this tab
- Close all unlocked tabs
- Close duplicate tabs
