Description

### What's the Problem?

I want a simple and quick way to do an action on multiple tabs or do an action for all opened tabs. Such actions could be for instance duplicating or moving to an new window.

### Solution/Idea

- add the possibility to use "STRG + click" to select multiple tabs. Then, right-clicking one of the selected tabs and choosing an option on the context menu should apply this action to all selected tabs.
- add an option to the context menu of the titlebar to do actions for all tabs opened in that window.

### Alternatives

- do it for each tab individually -> not as straightforward and quick
