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().
