sesweitzer Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Greetings, I'm trying to find an Alfred 3 workflow that will allow me to close all the tabs to the left or to the right of the selected tab in Safari 9.1.2. I was using a Workflow called BrowserTabs but it seems to have quite working. Thanks, Steve Link to comment
deanishe Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Put this in a Run Script Action with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (JS) // Close Safari tabs to the left of the active one. ObjC.import('stdlib') function run(argv) { var count = 0, safari = Application('Safari'), win = safari.windows[0], tabs = win.tabs, currentIdx = win.currentTab.index(); if (currentIdx == 1) { console.log('No tabs to close.') return } // start at currentIdx - 2 due to 0-indexing in JS for (i = currentIdx - 2; i >= 0; i--) { var tab = tabs[i]; tabs[i].close(); count++; } console.log(count + ' tab(s) closed'); } sesweitzer 1 Link to comment
deanishe Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) And here's "Close Tabs to Right": // Close Safari tabs to the right of the active one. ObjC.import('stdlib') function run(argv) { var count = 0, safari = Application('Safari'), win = safari.windows[0], tabs = win.tabs, currentIdx = win.currentTab.index(); // console.log('Tab ' + currentIdx + '/' + tabs.length + ' active.'); if (currentIdx == tabs.length) { console.log('No tabs to close.') return } var first = tabs.length - 1, last = currentIdx; for (i = first; i >= last; i--) { // console.log('Closing tab ' + (i+1) + ' ...'); var tab = tabs[i]; tabs[i].close(); count++; } console.log(count + ' tab(s) closed'); } Edited May 13, 2021 by deanishe sesweitzer 1 Link to comment
sesweitzer Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks deanishe! I just bought you a beer. I didn't totally understand your instructions because I've never created a workflow but you gave me enough and I got it working. Thanks for for the help and for getting me to the next level of using Alfred. It seems so simple now. Link to comment
deanishe Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks very much! I'll spend than on some of the lovely IPA the local beer shop has just started selling. Link to comment
deanishe Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 FWIW, I mostly use those Safari scripts (and others) with my AppScripts workflow. If you have a lot of scripts, it's maybe worth a look. Link to comment
nycdude Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi, does this "Close tabs to the right" code still work in safari 14? Is there a workflow for this? Link to comment

nycdude Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I don't know how to test it. I'm not a developer or anything close to that; just a user of Alfred workflows, but I will find someone to test for me. Thanks! Edited May 14, 2021 by nycdude Link to comment
