Select multiple tabs for bulk ops (horizontal and vertical)

ready

What's the status on this? I just discovered this browser and love it except for this feature and the inability to just have these be actual FOLDERS instead of a "nested tab" which is pretty dumb IMHO. Just lemme make a folder with a name and drop tabs into versus having like a "parent" tab and their "siblings" — but this original post is from... checks watch... 3 years ago.

Will this ever happen or should I just abandon my desire for privacy and just go to Arc? Because Arc handles this super well. Frankly I like how much cleaner Orion is, really gets out of the way, and is just so far a great experience. But yea... this kind of tab management is SUPER critical. Especially coming from Brave where I would, like other folks in the thread, do this all the time.

Thanks team!

andnad in safari, you can select multiple tabs using cmd and shift

onionbrowser

eirk interesting. i assumed orion would work the same way but doesnt. would be super nice to have that!

Safari has the ability to multi-select tabs then drag them over to a new window. There is a similar open request but it seems more related to an extension and not native functionality.

Either way I wanted to open one specifically for horizontal tabs and dragging it to a new window as a feature.

It would work like this:

@eirk looking at your tagged duplicate, it appears to be the same thing. My bad - didn't find that during my search for whatever reason.

The OP there says Safari doesn't do it but it certainly does using CMD and Shift.

Is there any update on this? This is a feature I've gotten very used to having this functionality when working with multiple groups of tabs/windows in other browsers.

This would be very useful. I am using it several times a day in other browsers. Selecting multiple tabs and either moving them, or closing them all at once.

Just like when you shift+select two bookmarks and all of the bookmarks inbetween get selected, it should also work on vertical tabs. Currently that does not work.

Fortrikka

Basically, every single area which has an NSListDefinition should have the ability to be command select and the usual native operating system selection should be, including the undo shortcut.

I'd say this is a very needed fix

I've been trying Orion for the past couple of weeks as a switch from Arc and it's almost perfect... but I think this is going to be a blocker for me actually switching 🙁

It makes tab tidying so unwieldy in comparison, even without the Tidy feature.

Johnnyvm

ac3xx I totally get you. I honestly stopped using Orion shortly after my comments in the thread around October 2022 because of this feature. I keep watching this thread to see if the feature gets implemented, because I have no chance of trying the browser again without it.

I'm so sad to see this was moved to under review from planned. This is also still the big blocker for me being able to switch to this otherwise extraordinary browser. Is there any design or technical work we users can do? Or is there some other way we can help facilitate this feature?

To other users: i've donated money and called out this feature as most important to me. If you also love Orion and want this feature, you can do the same (though of course only Vlad and team know the best way to prioritize holistically)

Vlad

CitizenEldon Thank you for your support. At this moment we are focusing on fixing bugs and inmproving stability and this feature is likely to add more complexity. So we will push it a bit out.

Valm

I always encourage stabilty over features. But the need for this is really a no-brainer and deserves investing on it. Several of us are so used to this that it looks like a bug not having it, rather than a feature.
The problem even affects the use of other Orion's present features: like having multiple saved windows - I use that a lot in Arc, but I'm stopped from moving to Orion (and then to use it regularly and become Premium) because I'm not (nobody is) going to spent so much time moving tabs one by one...

Currently it does not seem possible to select multiple tabs and then act on them such as clos, bookmark or move them to a different named window/profile. This means that if I want to merge two named windows I have to move tabs one by one, which becomes impractical if one has too many tabs open.

Selecting multiple tabs, using Cmd for sparse selections and Shift for continuous selections should be a feature.

In Safari it is possible to select individual tabs with Cmd held down, or select an entire range with the Shift key held down.

The same is possible in Arc, using the same keys.
