Feature Request: Move all selected tabs to new window

[backYard321]

The following options are available for moving tabs to a new window: However, there's no option to move all selected tabs into a new window, which to me is a shame! I'd imagine this implemented as either:

1. replacing the "move tab to new window" option
2. an additional setting for this option
3. a separate option

Thanks in advance for your consideration! This software has been a huge help for my workflow :)

Hi, thanks for your kind feature request. This sounds reasonable to me. I think the reason why it hasn't been request before is because you cannot select tabs with a gesture.

Out of interest how do you imagine the work flow? Would it be like:

1. select the tabs in the tab strip via Shift/Ctrl + Click
2. execute the gesture with the "Move all selected tabs to new window" command

This raises the question if all commands that currently work for a single selected tab (like pin or duplicate) should be enhanced or get an additional command for selected tabs. I would prefer not creating additional commands but then the command name might be misleading as it is singular and not plural. Not sure if Do something with Tab(s) would be a good compromise.

Enhancing existing commands and incorporating tab(s) into the name sounds like a really elegant solution to me! I do think that in certain cases, there should be an "additional setting" to "affect all selected tabs" (eg: only refreshing your current tab VS all selected tabs)

And yes, that's generally my workflow. Although the more i think about it, the more situational the actual use case is. My main annoyance with manually dragging tabs down into a separate window is that it involves:

1. additional precise mouse movement to the top of the screen/window
2. semi-precise dragging a certain distance from the tab strip (and not into another window's tab strip)

I didn't even consider using gestures to select multiple tabs - this would cut out needing the kind of precise mouse movements described above! That being said, it seems like that would come with a whole other set of considerations. For example: i'm not sure if it's technically possible to view a tab before adding it to your selection, without deselecting the entire selection first.

@Robbendebiene If i may ask: are you currently using this add on? And what's your configuration? I've been playing around with a few different options, but haven't settled on somthing i'm 100% satisfied with.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

For example: i'm not sure if it's technically possible to view a tab before adding it to your selection, without deselecting the entire selection first.

Yes, tab selection commands might not be easily possible. I'll still give it a try.

However I'm currently limited in time so don't expect this feature in the near future.

If i may ask: are you currently using this add on?

Yes, almost everyday 😇

And what's your configuration?

My configuration is very basic and almost identical to the default configuration except some special gestures that resemble a letter for rarely used commands (S for search popup and R for recently closed tabs popup). If you settle on a configuration, please share it. I'm always interested in other configurations.

...i had no idea about the "recently closed tabs" popup - this is going to help my workflow a lot!
