Select multiple tabs and drag to a new window
-
mrsomewhere last edited byI had been using a Chrome extension called "Tab Scissors" as a work around to this lack of functionality in Opera, but that extension no longer exists, and I haven't been able to find a comparable extension. The lack of ability to move multiple tabs to a new window seriously limits the usability of Opera. I don't want to switch to another browser--there is much that I like about Opera--but I just can't keep using it the way that it is.

@mrsomewhere The Tab Scissors extension is still available at https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/75791/ (the "Download Crx File from Crx4Chrome" link at the bottom of the page). I extracted the CRX file and things look okay in general. But, maybe there's a reason it was removed from the Chrome webstore.

New user here migrating from Brave. The absence of this feature actually surprised me, and to see that people have been noting its absence and requesting its integration for nearly five years to no avail does not inspire confidence.

I migrated from Chrome about a month ago and the lack of tab organization in Opera is my biggest complaint. Ridiculous that you can select multiple tabs for next-to-no reason.
This is going to be the thing that drives me back to Chrome. 5 years and still this parity feature is unimplemented? Disgraceful, but I guess you get what you pay for.

It's also super weird, that even with the new "islands" feature it's not possible to drag and drop an island into a new window, still only single tabs and nothing else.

@panicpug it really is totally weird.
I wonder if this will ever be implemented and what the reason is it has not been implemented yet.
Also I don't get it why we cant create tab-groups additionally to Workplaces, because with implementing tab-groups it would be also technically much more easier to implement this feature by just simply right click on the marked/selected tabs and send them to a specific tab-group.

I was thinking the same thing. I have a cautious hope that now that islands have been implemented, a future update will allow you to move an island to a new window, but considered that I made this request 6 years ago, I'm not holding my breath.

It's weird, because you can select multiple tabs, but you can't move them. I think that there's some plugin, probably, but at least you can move tabs from one window to another. That's not to bad for me, seeing as I only have to do that with around 5, but it's getting increasingly more difficult. I'm thinking of saving my two different windows separately in some folder, but still, it would be very useful.

@sparky132 As said, when a flag is disabled by default, it means that it's not ready to be used. So the expected behavior of such flags are that they don't work at all
