I just noticed what might seem obvious, but no one I've asked seems to have noticed. To quickly close other open tabs in an open Safari window, simply hold the Option key while pressing the "close tab" icon (the small "X") on the tab. Very nice indeed!

Quickly close other tabs in Safari
cmd + opt + w also accomplishes this, just like in most other applications: that command will close all open windows in an application without quitting it. It actuallys works differently in Safari, because it DOES leave the active tab open.
Closing everything
In Safari cmd+shift+w closes all tabs including the one currently active.

Quickly close other tabs in Safari
I'm using Panther, so I'm confused. First, I'm not sure why this is an improvement when it violates a UI rule dating back to the Mac Plus, that using the Option modifier on a close action closes all instances. Option-click *should* close all tabs. Second, since under Panther you can click any arbitrary tab's close icon to close it whether frontmost or background, why is a change needed? |
