Hi! I followed long time ago conversation about "close all tabs" button 
on konqueror s right click menu on tab. And right now it is moved 
to "right click > other tabs > close all other tabs"  and it is always 
last one, so on long list of webpages, user need move mouse more.

I dont like where it is because i used it alot and it takes so many 
clicks to close all by clickin it. 

And i add "mouse hover" close button on tabs when hovering over tab 
fanicon to get one tab closed easily middle of tabs. This is not 
fastest way to close many tabs so i keep "close active tab" button on 
right side so i can just repeately click tabs closed until i 
reach "main" page. (I remove "create new tab" button because i use 
shortcuts or i double click empty are on tabtoolbar)



And i just noticed that making easier to close all other tabs than 
active, that right side "close active tab" button could be like back 
and forward buttons. When user clicks once, active tab gets closed. 
When user clicks and hold mouse over button, he would get option to 
close all other tabs than active. More like back/forward button and 
browsing history. 

Or this function could be in tab close or hided close button too. So 
when clickin and pressing down mouse over that button, user gets option 
to close all others than the one what he is clickin. 

This way there could be second way to close all other buttons than 
active one.

I think there is problem with right side "close current / active tab" 
button. By default it close active one and my suggested option would 
close all others than active one, this shouldn't be problem because 
button is linked to active tab like, "keep this and close others" 
and "close this and keep others".

I added mockup as attachment.

I'm sorry if i have forgetten that this has already discusted here.

ps. sorry bad english
