Selecting multiple contiguous tabs with a click on one end and then shift+click on the other end

What I’m trying to do

As a habit from working with browsers, I’m used to being able to mass-close down a group of tabs by clicking on the tab on one end, shift+clicking on the other end of the tab, and then closing (cmd/ctrl + w). But this shift+click to mass-select mechanism doesn’t seem available in Obsidian.

Things I have tried

I have tried all other modifiers, like cmd, ctrl, opt, none have worked. I also can’t even select multiple tabs by individually selecting new ones by holding down any modifier. Would appreciate help, or a feature add if possible :slight_smile: This is really helpful for my organization.

This is documented here

 

There is “Close tabs after” context menu action when right clicking tabs and here is FR for having that action as a command

 


 

I think Shift + Left click should have the tab multi select feature like in Chromium but control + mouse hover is already reserved for page preview thus you cannot multi select with control easily or without visual clutter. I didn’t know these features but they are definitely useful.

Thank you so much @blue_emperor!

It’s a little hard to search for posts that are asking for the same thing, I remember looking at some keywords and not finding much! Thanks for linking the FR. Upvoted it.

Also thanks for mentioning the “Close tabs after” context menu option. I hadn’t noticed it’s there (context menu is very long in Obsidian I feel! At least by default).

Even a command for “close tabs after” would be a good enough solution for most of my use cases.

Thanks again.
