I just started a plugin https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/tree/master/tab-utils/src to give some additional functionality to tabs. For now, it just adds a "Close before" and "Close after" options instead of the "close everything else" option. The thought occurred to me, this may be a feature we would want to add to geany itself.
Personally, I'd rather have something like "close from here before/after" or "close before/after" in place of "close everything else", but there is no reason geany couldn't have both.
Another thought, is there a way to disable the full list of open tabs from that context menu so my list isn't so long to get to the power options?
Should I implement this into geany and create a pull request? Or can someone argue this really should remain in a plugin?
As an unrelated side note, I think we could add a toggle button type to toolbar buttons and add a toggle for line wrapping. For now I'll just continue to use the keyboard shortcut for this.
Thanks,
Steve

I agree that Close Other Documents isn't very flexible. An alternative is to use the symbol list Documents pane - right clicking on a folder allows closing all files under it. There could be a 'Close All in Folder' notebook tab option to expose this function more.

I sometimes find switching between firefox and geany to be disorienting when I want to show the tab list - perhaps having firefox's drop-down button on the right would be better.
