Description

Hi,

it would be nice if you could close tabs within the "search through your open tabs" dialog.
You can navigate up down using ctrl+j/k. When a tab is highlighted in the list, having the
ability to close it with a combination like ctrl+c or ctrl+d would be nice.

Greetings
Tobi

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating the tab-search dialog entry point and reviewing how highlighted tabs respond to Ctrl+J/K. Done means a highlighted tab can be closed from the dialog using a consistent keyboard shortcut, with behavior covered by the relevant existing tests if available.
