Multi-Select for Bulk Operations #58

Open midshoreit opened 4 months ago

midshoreit commented 4 months ago

I love this extension, but the one thing missing is the ability to select multiple tabs using CTRL or SHIFT keyboard keys to perform batch operations. If that isn't possible, perhaps a multi-select mode within the tabs via checkboxes that are activated by an icon at the top, or by clicking on the favorite icon of the tab in the side panel that engages multi-select mode and places a check mark over the favorite icon, allowing users to check additional tabs. Using the mouse to drag to select multiple tabs could be nice, too.

Once multiple tabs are selected the user could then engage in the same bulk operations currently available via right-click, plus maybe a three-dot or hamburger menu, drag and drop, and so forth, based on their needs.

Hey @midshoreit, thanks for your suggestion this was added the in latest version. It's activated with ctrl/cmd and shift.

Thank you so much @samihaddad for adding this feature! It's great for creating new tab groups. However, it looks like it doesn't work for closing multiple tab. If I select multiple tabs and press Cmd-W or right-click>Close, it will only close one tab.

Same for re-ordering tabs. If I select multiple tabs and drag them up or down with the mouse, it will only move a single tab up or down.
