1. I would like a option to “Close all but this”, where I can leave the selected tab open but close everything else not only editor windows but also configuration, io windows, eventlog and so on is closed.

1. I would like for this option to also be available for other tabs (Not only editor)
2. I would like a option “Close all IO windows” or “Close all configuration windows” and so on.

This feels like a pretty simple measure to simplify life for many who use robotstudio. Why can’t this be prioritized instead of all the other new flashy features you release?

Hello,  
Or at least close Tab with a center click like a lot of IDE does nowadays.

A small follow-up on this request: It will be possible to close “all but this” tabs, and closing tabs with middle mouse button in RS 2025.3

Sounds great!

Will “all but this” close configuration and IO windows?  
Will this option be available on these tabs aswell?
