Description

I have checked the following:

  • I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This feature

  • blocks me from using Bruno
  • would improve my quality of life in Bruno
  • is something I've never seen an API client do before

Describe the feature you want to add, and how it would change your usage of Bruno

It's currently very painful if you have many collections open and want to close some or all of them. You manually have to click on options > close.

This feature allows you to multi-select or select all and close in one command.

Research direction
Investigate the collection tab UI component in the Bruno codebase, likely in `src/ui/components/CollectionTab.jsx` or similar. Look for existing context menu actions for single close and extend to support multiple selected tabs. Review the state management for selected collections and the `closeCollection` method. Ensure that the multi select UI follows existing patterns for list selection in the app.
