How to close tabs to the right using vimperator?

Question

I'm using Firefox, and installed vimperator. It's great, but I can't found the method to close tabs to the right using hotkey. Could you please tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Close all to right/left.

Place the following code in your .vimperatorrc file. It defines commands :closealltoright and :closealltoleft as well as bindings v> and v< respectively. Change the bindings as desired in the lines beginning "map" towards the bottom.

js <<EOF

closeAllToRight = function () {
    var current = tabs.getTab();
    var currentIx = tabs.index(current);
    var nexttab = current.nextElementSibling;
    var N = tabs.count;
    var numToClose = N - (currentIx + 1);
    tabs.remove(nexttab, numToClose);
}

closeAllToLeft = function () {
    var current = tabs.getTab();
    var currentIx = tabs.index(current);
    var firsttab = tabs.getTab(0);
    var N = tabs.count;
    var numToClose = currentIx;
    tabs.remove(firsttab, numToClose);
}

EOF

" close tabs to left
map v< :js closeAllToLeft()<CR>
" close tabs to right
map v> :js closeAllToRight()<CR>

command! closealltoright :js closeAllToRight()
command! closealltoleft :js closeAllToLeft()

I've uploaded these two commands as a Gist.

Pentadactyl version.

command! closetabstoleft
    \ -description "Close all tabs to the left of the current tab"
    \ -js
    \ var firstTab = tabs.getTab(0);
    \ var numToClose = tabs.getTab().dactylOrdinal - 1;
    \ tabs.remove(firstTab, numToClose);
command! closetabstoright
    \ -description "Close all tabs to the right of the current tab"
    \ -js
    \ tabIndex = tabs.getTab().dactylOrdinal - 1;
    \ var nextTabIndex = tabIndex + 1;
    \ var firstTab = tabs.getTab(nextTabIndex);
    \ var N = tabs.allTabs.length;
    \ var numToClose = N - nextTabIndex;
    \ tabs.remove(firstTab, numToClose);

map v< -ex closetabstoleft
map v> -ex closetabstoright

I've placed these in a gist for convenience.

Further tab commands can be found in my Pentadactyl folder (the commands and bindings are in .pentadactylrc, but may rely on functions defined in utils.js).

Answer 2

Add map <your_key_binding> gt :bd -s left<CR> to your vimperatorrc.

Explanation:

gt switches to the next right tab, :bd -s left deletes this tab and switches after that to the left tab.
