Hi! I love the new shrink tab sizing in the latest version of Code. It feels much more natural to me because I now have a much better idea of which editors are open in which pane and how many are open in total.

There's an awesome thing that Chrome does when you're closing tabs – it doesn't resize the tabs while you're closing them. This allows you to close many tabs by just clicking repeatedly. It's a small details but it makes the experience a lot smoother in my opinion:

For comparison, here is how closing multiple tabs currently behaves in VS Code:

I think the behaviour is something like this:

If the user just closed a tab by clicking, and there is a tab to the right,
don't resize the tabs until the user moves the mouse pointer out from the tabs bar.

When you close a tab that is currently active, select the tab
to the right next (not the previously selected tab).
