Commands

In detail

What Close Tabs to the Right closes

It starts from the tab you opened the palette on and only changes the window you’re in. Pinned tabs never close.

Every tab after this one

TabCmdr looks at where the current tab sits in the tab bar and closes every tab after it. The tabs before it stay where they are, and so do the tabs in your other windows.

  • A message at the bottom of the page says how many closed, like Closed 4 tabs.
  • Nothing to the right? You see No tabs to the right.

Pinned tabs stay, grouped tabs don't

A pinned tab is never closed. Tabs in a tab group close like any other tab, even when the group is collapsed, so check the groups to your right before you run it.

  • Run it from a pinned tab and every unpinned tab in the window closes. The other pinned tabs stay.
  • Type :c right to search only commands.

Closed one too many? Bring it back

Every tab it closes gets its own row in Recently Closed. Type :r to see them, newest first, and press ↵ to reopen the one you want.

  • Each row shows when you closed the tab, such as Just now.
  • Undo Close Tab brings back one tab each time you run it.

More ways to clear out tabs

  • Close Tabs to the Left

    The same command for the other side. It closes every tab before the one you’re on, and your pinned tabs at the start of the bar stay.

  • Close Other Tabs

    Closes both sides at once. Only the tab you’re on and your pinned tabs are left in the window.

  • One window at a time

    Only the window you’re in changes. Run the command again in another window to clean that one up.

  • Close Duplicate Tabs

    Closes the extra copies of a page across all your windows and keeps one of each.

  • Close one tab from the list

    Highlight any tab in the palette and press ⌘⌫ to close it without switching to it.

  • Suspend instead of close

    Want to keep the tabs but not the memory they use? Suspend Inactive Tabs unloads them and leaves them in the bar.
