Select multiple tabs with shift

I've almost completed the move from chrome without looking back, but there's one feature that's killing me. In Chrome, you can click on a tab, hold shift and click on other tabs to select multiple. These tabs can be closed together with (⌘+w) without closing the entire window. The multi-selected tabs can also be dragged, intuitively creating a new window. My apologies if this feature is already available. Thank you for your consideration.

I have not been able to find this feature in Opera, either. This missing feature combined with a couple of other minor annoyances are keeping me from making Opera my main browser

I think this would be nice... maybe not with Shift as this actually closes the tabs, but Ctrl seems more intuitive.

Would like this as well. Is there a place to submit feature requests?

Yes, here in this forum. You can also try the Desktop Team Blog

Shift + click closes tab so be careful.
And not there seems no way to select with ctrl.
I cant believe this is missing from Opera?

Multi select tabs would ease making split screen layout (with windows) until Opera get's a similar split screen feature as Vivaldi has.

+1 to shift + click to select multiple tabs.

This is one of the last things thats keeping me from fully moving from Chrome. I like to keep my windows separated by "category" (work, fun, ..) and moving them one by one is not really effective.

also shift is generally used to select all the stuff between 2 as well. for just selecting a bunch of random tabs control is truly the better choice.

Any idea when the beta for Opera 52 ends and is introduced to the stable build?

@josev RC was released a couple of days ago, so probably next week.

Vivaldi has this. "Menu -> tools -> settings -> tabs -> tab features section -> Enable tab selection". It's done with Ctrl + shift + click.

@leocg :
The beta is at version 57-something, yet no such feature is in sight.

I think this is slated to be once again a most-requested feature that will be perennially ignored and held in contempt by Opera Software, just like form autocompletion was in Presto-based Opera.
