How about "Close all except for this tab"? |

That certainly fits in well with this request IMO. I really like the Firefox way of doing it: "Close Tab" is a top level entry, and then I imagine a "Close..." option with nested entries for:

## Summary of the Pull Request⚠️ This spec has been moved from #6902. That version was branched off the new tab menu customization, and had a terribly convoluted git history. After discussion with the team, we've decided that it's best that this spec is merged atomically _first_, and used as the basis for #5888, as opposed to the other way around. > This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec], > as well as the [New Tab Menu Customization Spec]. > > As we come to rely more on actions being a mechanism by which the user defines > "do something in the Terminal", we'll want to make it even easier for users to > re-use the actions that they've already defined, as to reduce duplicated json as > much as possible. This spec proposes a mechanism by which actions could be > uniquely identifiable, so that the user could refer to bindings in other > contexts without needing to replicate an entire json blob. > ## PR Checklist * [x] Specs: #6899 * [x] References: #1571, #1912, #3337, #5025, #5524, #5633 * [x] I work here ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments _\*<sup>\*</sup><sub>\*</sub> read the spec <sub>\*</sub><sup>\*</sup>\*_ [Command Palette Spec]: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/specs/%232046%20-%20Command%20Palette.md [New Tab Menu Customization Spec]: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/specs/%231571%20-%20New%20Tab%20Menu%20Customization.md

Description of the new feature/enhancement
Hey, I was hoping for a feature in Windows Terminal that I've seen in many browsers and text editors: being able to close all tabs to the right of the current one. Here are some examples:
Sublime:
Firefox:
Chrome:
ConEmu:
The scenario I have is that I keep long-lived tabs like build processes, servers, etc. in the leftmost positions in my terminal, then I have "temporary" tabs on the right. Every once in a while, I end up with 20+ tabs open, so I want to activate the 6th or 7th one and close all tabs to the right to get rid of all of the clutter.
Even just having a customizable keyboard shortcut would be great, but this is the kind of thing that could live in a context menu eventually (#1912).
P.S. much of this text was copy/pasted from here.
