Tab multi-select
Selecting tabs ⋅ Buffer Explorer ⋅ Why?
View multiple open files side by side without manually creating an editor layout. Select multiple tabs to display several open files side by side. Each selected tab is displayed in its own editor pane.

| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| ⌘ Click | Add or remove a tab from the current selection. |
| ⌘command esc | Make current tab the only selected tab. |
Editor panes follow the order of the selected tabs.
Buffer Explorer

Drag tabs to reorder the layout.
Select a range
| Action | Description |

This works similarly to selecting a range of files in the macOS Finder.

Why?
Opening several files side by side usually means setting up splits first, then deciding which file goes where.
Tab Multi-Select works the other way around:
- Select the tabs you want to see, and Koi arranges them automatically.
- Select another tab to add it to the layout.
- Unselect one to remove it.
