#Tidy Tabs for Sublime Text
Note: Also available for Atom!
Ever get to the end (middle?) of a day of coding only to find your window littered with tabs that are nearly impossible to search through visually? Find yourself rage-quitting all your tabs in disgust and starting over? No? Just me? Ok.
With this plugin, a simple keystroke ctrl + alt + w will close all tabs whose file has not been modified in the last 30 minutes (to change this interval, see Preferences > Packages > TidyTabs > Settings). It will only close tabs in the background – so files that are open and active in your window won't be closed. Likewise, it will not close files with unsaved changes.
You can change the key binding in Preferences > Package Settings > TidyTabs > Key Bindings.
##Run automatically
You can also configure the plugin to automatically close old tabs each time you save a file. To enable this, go to Preferences > Package Settings > TidyTabs > Settings and set tidytabs_run_on_post_save to true:
// Automatically run tidytabs after a file is saved
"tidytabs_run_on_post_save": true,##Threshold
Another configuration option is the threshold. Setting this to a number greater than 0 will ensure that TidyTabs only runs when the number of tabs in that view is greater than the threshold.
// If this is set and greater than 0, tidytabs will only run if
// the number of tabs is greater than the threshold setting.

The easiest way to install is via the excellent Sublime Package Manager. Once Package Manager is installed, bring up the commands menu (Command + Shift + P on Mac, Control + Shift + P on Windows or Linux), then type "Package Control" to filter the commands list. Select the "Package Control: Install Package" command, then find and install the TidyTabs plugin.
##Installation without Package Manager Clone or download this repo to your Packages folder.
