Alex Johnson (ID: 0000000065bb2d39) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/19/2023 Can you please make it so it works when dragging MULTIPLE tabs as well!!? It works fantastic with just 1 tab, but I am often dragging at least 2-3 tabs at once that I have preselected/highlighted with the Ctrl key or Shift keys and my mouse. will change to 5 star if you can enable it to work with MULTIPLE tabs.
