Keyboard Shortcuts to Close Other/Right Tabs is a Chrome extension that provides users with quick and convenient control over their browser tabs. It does so by introducing three keyboard shortcuts viz., Alt-Shift-O to close all other tabs, Alt-Shift-R to close all tabs to the right, and Alt-Shift-P to pin any desired tab. For additional shortcuts related to tab movement, the Chrome extension tabloid can be used in conjunction.

User reviews

Primarily got it to add a shortcut for un/pinning tabs. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Stars are removed, however, because you can't modify what shortcuts are used. That is a basic functionality of ANYTHING adding hotkeys. We NEED to be able to edit that, not only for personal preference/workflow, but also in case of conflicts.

Thank you, works perfectly for me.

Bug: if you have two windows A and B open with multiple tabs in each, when you're on A and use this extension, sometimes it closes all tabs from B instead of A. Very annoying.
