Add "Close other tabs" and "Close tabs to the right" to Codex app tab context menu

Component

Codex app on macOS

Feature request

When the side panel is open, right-clicking a tab currently only shows one action:

  • Close

Please add two common tab-management actions to this context menu:

  • Close other tabs
  • Close tabs to the right

Why

When multiple Codex tabs/sessions are open, closing tabs one by one is slow. These two actions are standard in browsers and IDEs, and would make tab cleanup much faster.

Expected behavior

Given several tabs are open in the Codex app side panel:

  • Right-clicking a tab shows:
  • Close
  • Close other tabs
  • Close tabs to the right
  • "Close other tabs" keeps the selected tab open and closes all other tabs.
  • "Close tabs to the right" keeps the selected tab and all tabs to its left open, and closes every tab after it.
  • Disabled or no-op states should be handled gracefully when there are no applicable tabs to close.
