Description

Would be great if we could select multiple tabs, and do a few actions on them. At least closing, moving them with << or >>, even popping them out of the window, but the former two would be much more crucial.

Additionally it would be a great option if we could move even single tabs next to another tab (right in front can be the default) just by searching the destination tab with T as usual, and then pressing shift + Enter for example on it to bring the currently selected tab there. Of course this would be great if it could also work with multiple tabs.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how Vimium handles tab selection, the T tab-search flow, and existing tab movement or closing actions. Done should cover selecting multiple tabs, closing or moving them, optional pop-out behavior, and moving a selected tab or group next to a searched destination tab.
