More mouse gestures on tabs

[ulugbekna]

Gestures

1. Allowing multiple non-sequential tabs to be selected using cmd+click/ctrl+click

Cmd+clicking an item on macos (or ctrl+click on windows) allows selecting multiple items, e.g., files in a directory. It would be great if one could do that same with tabs.

2. Allowing shift+click for selecting several sequential tabs

Use cases

• I'd like to select several tabs and close them
• Select two tabs to compare them

Remarks

Explorer has such gestures
