Tab Groups: override setting of closing the existing tabs

Hello everyone.

Sometimes, I want to override the "Close existing folder tabs..." setting when opening a Tab Group. Suggestion: allow two "modifier" keys. When holding either while opening a Tab Group, the one will always close existing tabs and the other will not close anything, overriding the current setting of any specific Group.

I like the idea but would prefer no modifier = perform user specified close other tabs setting and any modifier = reverse user specified setting.

You can already do this with @keydown I think?

Sorry, you got me confused there. Not sure what that means and how to set it. Can't see anything relevant in the Tab Groups settings.

Yes, I thought about the single modifier key, too. Problem is, if the user has many Tab Groups with mixed settings, it's not realistic to always remember the setting of each single one. So the "reverse" can easily lead to unwanted results.

Guess you can put the setting in the name/description, but it'd make things unnecessarily complicated.

Make a button like that:

@keydown:none
Go TABGROUPLOAD=MoI3D TABCLOSEALL
@keydown:shift
Go TABGROUPLOAD=MoI3D TABCLOSEALL=no

We'll make this work with Go TABGROUPLIST in 13.10.1.

Ok, thanks for your responses. I was thinking of the "standard" way (right-click/Groups/[optional keypress]/select) but I assume the exact same can be achieved (now or in the upcoming 13.10.1) by creating a button and assigning this function to it.

Sorry, not familiar with custom buttons but I will read the docs. I am guessing the button can be made 'invisible', by putting it in a non-visible toolbar.

You’ll be able to do that in the next beta, including modifying the right-click menu.
