There is no keyboard shortcut I know of and after checking Google forums, neither does anyone else.

You could use the extension Close Inactive Tabs instead - This adds a button which closes all other tabs except the active one.

The shortcut key to close all other tabs is CtrlShiftAltW if you install Amazing Tab Shortcuts, freely available in the Chrome Web Store.

I use it frequently for scripts, which I suspect is your use.

None of them work. The easiest way is to right-click on the tab that you want to keep open and then click 'close other tabs'. The shortcut to close ALL tabs is Ctrl+Shift+W, to open a new tab is Ctrl+T, and to close the tab you are on is Ctrl+W. Also, if you close a tab by mistake and want to reopen it to the same page it was on, use Ctrl+Shift+T. Experiment with the rest like, Ctrl+Shift+E, etc.
