How to close all Safari tabs except the one we are working with

At this point, you may already know this simple but effective tip to close all the Safari tabs except the one we are working with, but in any case today we are going to see how to do it easily and quickly. This is a little trick that can come in handy when we are using a good handful of tabs in the Safari browser and for whatever reason we have to close all the tabs except the one we are working on. Obviously this simple and easy step of closing all the tabs except one, works only when we have several tabs open in a single window.

In this case there is no keyboard shortcut for this function, but if we want we can create one in a simple way. In any case, in order to locate this Safari function we have to click on File in the menu bar and once open we have to press the alt key. Now we will see how the option Close Tab becomes Close all other tabs.

In this way if we are working with numerous tabs in Safari and we are ready to exit the computer and we do not want to close the active tab but if the rest of the open ones, we can do it. I can say that personally I almost always use cmd + W to close the tabs open in the browser, but sometimes it is great for me to be able to close all the tabs except the one I am working on to facilitate my work. Obviously if we are one of those who close everything at once we can use cmd + Q but in this case it is not about closing everything if not the rest of tabs except the one we have active.
