Close to the left / right options in tab popup menu

[arkid]

A very simple but highly useful request. I like I'm sure a lot of other people over time using the app during the day end up with a fair few tabs on screen. Having two new "Close all tabs to the left" and "Close all tabs to the right" options on the context menu would be super useful sometimes.

I hope you can apply this, it would seem to be a pretty easy task.

Have you had a look at locking tab locations or zones (which would allow you to close all others at the end of the day) or using tabsets to recreate your favourite tab session from a saved state at any time.
Every since I've set up my five or six different tabsets for the different file managing needs of my life, I've hardly closed any tabs at all but rather reload whichever tabset I'm about to use next into the current pane.

Scripting would be a temporary option as well (when used in a user defined command with a keyboard shortcut assigned)

Code: Select all

"CloseLeftTabs"
    $curTabID = tab("get");
    while($i++ < $curTabID - 1) {
        tab("close", 0, 1);
    }

"CloseRightTabs"
    $numTabs = tab("get", "c");
    $curTabID = tab("get");
    $maxTabs = $numTabs - $curTabID;
    while($i++ < $maxTabs) {
        tab("close", 0, $curTabID + 1);
    }

A plus one here, also with the app had this built in.

Two months later you give your own wish a +1?

[arkid]

Haha yes that was accidental but it shows you how much I want this. Its so easy to end up with 101 tabs in this program.

Was also hoping for this outside of a script aka built in!

Next beta: "Close All Tabs to the Right"

So, 2 years have passed. How about adding "Close to the left"?
