Split tabs

Hi!

I am one of the kind of users that usually works with numerous tabs in multiple windows. Each window containing tenths of tabs according to area of the activity.

I am missing a feature to be able to work more efficient in some cases.

There is a good reason as to why there is a tab function 'Close tabs to the right'. I use it moderately rare.

What I am missing here is 'Move tabs to the right to a new window' (including marked one). This would help a lot to congregate tabs of the same kind in the same place and in the window which represents area of activity.

I know that we can move tabs around (including move to a new window) but 'BULK move' would help a lot and shorten the works. Now, there are two variants of this - move bulk of tabs to a new window and the same but moving to an existing window.

most useful tab functions that I use:

• often - move tabs (left right and to a new window)
• often - search tabs (this one is possibly one of most useful)
• moderately - duplicate tab
• rarely - close tabs to the right - reason is that I have already congregated tabs of the same activity area in particular window, and I would typically close whole window if I not need the area any more.

For that matter there is another thing that I am missing too: 'Go back to a previously used/selected tab'.
Sometimes I switch to another window to another tab and then spend a lot of time to find the previous one where I have been just a moments ago.

This is another level compared to standard 'go back' and 'go forward' (history) which are way less useful.

Thank you!

You can select multiple tabs with ctrl + click or ctrl + shift + click. You can then right-click and choose "move tabs to workspace". Opera just needs an option to move the tab selection to a different window. Then, you could click the tab to the right to focus it, and then shift + click the last tab in the tab bar to select all those tabs, and then right-click and move them to the window you want. That would be good for starters, with your specific "move tabs to the right to window" being a good addition.

@burnout426 Great! at least it is some workaround.

I am failing to understand how to move set of tabs to a new window. Moving selected set of tabs work for me only for moving to workspaces.
If I try to move a selection of tabs, only 1 tab is being moved around.

You can't yet. I was saying that if you could, you could use the select range of tabs trick as a workaround.

@burnout426 true. That could be one of options since there is obviously function to select multiple tabs (that I did not know it exists)
