If you're starting from the command line, you can use `--auto-compare`
flag to automatically open multiple files, or you can just open
multiple files by selecting them in the folder comparison. If you do
this for many files it *will* be slow of course.

While I understand why you want that, I think that would be very
unexpected behaviour for most users. Personally, I routinely hit the
bottom of a set of changes when I have no intention of closing the
file yet.

The problem with adding shortcuts for specialised use cases like this
is that they're then not available for more general use cases. For
example, I was just considering whether I could use Alt+Shift+Up/Down
for previous and next conflict, which are much more generally
applicable actions.
