Close Other Tabs in the IDE

Hi, is there an option to close other tabs as there was in RealBasic?

In RealBasic you can right click a tab and choose “Close Other Tabs”. This was a great feature!

Thanks

Don’t think there is. Try from the menus VIEW >> HIDE TAB BAR then VIEW >> SHOW TAB BAR and then open the tab you want. Hey presto the other 150 tabs have gone.

Simple

Can’t try at the moment, but does holding option while closing a tab work?

Mike_Charlesworth · May 22, 2014, 2:43pm

So it does. Scrap my idea above, Kem’s is much more elegant

Sorry to be dim here but what is “Option” in this context?

Option key on the Mac keyboard. Perhaps Alt key on other platforms.

Kem is right. This is an OS trick that works in all applications (that have Tabs), just like Option (Alt too ?) click in close button close all open windows !

Hi Kem: are you awake earlier or not yet close your eyes ? Pretty early time in New York !

Awake too early, soon to be back asleep.

Holding ALT while clicking the close button closes all the tabs! That’s close enough!

Thanks very much.
