Using the cmd-shift-[ and ] selecting and deselect tabs next to the currently selected one. But but playing with it it can suddenly move to different tabs, without a logic that I as a user could detect quickly.

I would like to suggest to not introduce new keybindings, but use existing ones and add the Shift modifier to select for inclusion in the split view.

Cmd-Shift-# could add or remove a tab

Option-Shift-Tab could allow you to move to another tab and when you let go, add it to the tab group. This would require a 'non-selected-highlighted' state while cycling with Shift. I'm sure david can help out with that.
