Is it possible to move multiple tabs to a new window in Opera?

Is it possible to select multiple tabs from one window in Opera and then move them to another/new window in one go - that is, without moving each tab individually? I'm not bothered if the functionality comes out of the box or via an extension.

I'm currently using 32.0.1948.69 on OS X El Capitan and have tried various combinations of cmd, alt, ctrl, and shift while clicking multiple tabs. None seem to work.

EDIT: added clarification that I'm not interested in moving multiple tabs one at a time

1I'm missing the same feature. I would call it "Detach tabs to the right" and place it in the tab context menu. Unfortunately, I also didn't find a plugin which helps out here. – Daniel Alder – 2016-11-14T00:00:35.297

yes, I was hoping for the same ... I prefer Opera to Chrome for its lighter resource footprint, and in so many ways it's functionally equivalent; but multiple tab select is a very handy thing I'm missing greatly from Chrome – Aaron Wallentine – 2016-12-22T19:34:38.737

I don't understand the "clarification" that you're "not interested in moving multiple tabs at one time" ... I thought that was the whole question? – Aaron Wallentine – 2016-12-22T19:36:26.510

The only answer to the question is about moving one tab at a time (click and drag one tab to a new window, repeat for each tab). I was already aware of that ability, hence I added the clarification that I want to select n tabs at once and move them all to a new/different window in one go. – ajmccluskey – 2016-12-23T23:05:28.580

Not sure if you can move more Opera tabs in one time, but you can drag 1 tab out of the window that you use to create a new window, and than you can move the tabs one by one.

To do that you can drag&drop the other tabs from the first window to the button to create a new tab in the second window.

This is the way i can do that in Windows i hope it work in OS X.

Yeah ... not nearly as handy as being able to move a whole group at once. It becomes a whole delicate operation having to drag them one by one. Thanks anyhow though. – Aaron Wallentine – 2016-12-22T19:35:17.247

This is an old thread, but I would like to share my way of doing it, for help in future:

  • Select first tab of the group
  • Ctrl + Shift and click last tab of the group
  • Right click and choose "Save tabs as Speed Dial Folder"
  • Goto Speed dial
  • Right click on saved folder
  • select "Open all in new window"
