<![CDATA[Select multiple tabs and drag to a new window]]>I would like to be able to select multiple tabs (by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key) and drag them to a new window. This is a feature of Chrome that I used regularly. Thanks.

Why create a sub par product when you can make one product better?

Even though I do use my PC for gaming a lot I realised I personally don't really have much need for the GX-exclusive features but it would be nice if it worked in GX as well for the people using it.

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.

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.

So the expected behavior of such flags are that they don't work at all

There must be a misunderstanding, surely you can't be preventing this behaviour by design?

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.

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.

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.

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.
