Using actions for tab manipulation

Windows Terminal has several tab manipulation commands that are not yet available in the UI. These commands are likely to be added to menus in the near future, but we can discover and use them before that happens.

Closing multiple tabs at once

Similar to browser tab management, Windows Terminal supports closing multiple tabs at once:

• closeTabsAfter will close all tabs after the currently active tab:

  {
    "command": "closeTabsAfter",
    "keys": "ctrl+shift+delete"
  },

• closeOtherTabs will close all but the currently active tab:

  {
    "command": "closeOtherTabs",
    "keys": "ctrl+shift+backspace"
  },
