new tab context menu.. access to "close all but this" and "close tabs to the right"

[Chris P]

I appreciate the tidying up of the tab context menu but I really miss the quick access to “Close all but this” and “Close all to the right”. Both these commands are very commonly used maybe even more than close itself and now I have to navigate to Close multiple tabs , then move across and then down to select my choice.
Before it was an almost subconscious action and now I have to concentrate to do it correctly.

This action of closing tabs I do not need is one of the things I actually interact with most in the top menu of notepad++ so this difference in layout makes usage a lot less efficient compared to a quick swipe down and select.

There has been lots of nice space saved and clutter removed with the new changes to the tab context menu so restoring just the often used commands to the initial context menu for fast and easy access would be a improvement in usability overall.

Thanks for considering this.
