Select multiple tabs and drag to a new window

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.

@leocg I have enabled this. I now cannot drag any tab out into a separate window. Not even a single one. Bug?

@sparky132 Nope, something expected as said

@leocg So the expected behaviour is that I cannot drag a tab to a new window? There must be a misunderstanding, surely you can't be preventing this behaviour by design?

@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

Recently moved from Chrome, and it's been 90% fine but was pretty shocked to see that such a basic feature as moving multiple tabs wasn't a thing. Basically everything I would need from chrome worked fine here, other than moving tabs. I use it constantly in Chrome and not having it definitely slows down moving tabs to another window massively.

At least it's supposedly being worked on but it should really have been prioritised a very long time ago for such an extremely basic feature thats in pretty much every other browser. I can't possible imagine why it wouldn't be a basic feature there from the start.

@nadiayorc It works in Opera 110.0.5130.39 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 when the "Drag multiple tabs" flag is on at the URL opera://flags/#drag-multiple-tabs is enabled (it's enabled by default). Not only does it work with multiple tabs outside of a tab island selected, but you can drag a tab island out of a window into a new window too and all its tabs go with it.
