Close Tabs to the Right
=======================

This script defines a function that closes tabs to the right of the current tab in the current window. It demonstrates closing tabs and using `asyncio.gather` to run many async functions at once.

You can bind it to a keystroke in **Prefs > Keys** by selecting the action *Invoke Script Function* and giving it the invocation `close_to_the_right()`.
