I want the button to close all left or right tabs.
However, as far as I search, K-Meleon doesn't have such commandline.
Help me

Don't know how either, sorry. Perhaps anyone else?
Do you need this function very often?
And if you simply close each tab by a Middle-Click? That's what I'm doing all the time, and I find it quite fast. No prob.

I would try making a macro for "close all left or right", but the prob is, macrolanguage has no function to identify the FIRST tab. It only knows how many tabs are open. Occasionally we have already missed that function for a few other macros too.
If someone needs such a function really very, very much, the only lousy workaround I can think of at the moment is to open and keep a special dummy tab as the first one at the left side. As long as it remains open and in 1st position, this tab could serve as a marker for a new macro to "find" the first tab, by hopping from tab to tab and comparing the URL, and closing all tabs until they find this dummy tab and stop. Either going left or right.
But the catch is, you'd always have an annoying empty tab lying around. And in every new window it must be added again. The macro could open those tabs automatically, but tabs open at the right side, not the left. So it must be moved manually by the user.

Hmm, thinking about it, that dummy tab need not be completely useless and empty. It could be any local file, just marked for this new macro with a special hash tag in URL, like this:
file:///c:/......mylinks.html#macroTab1
But still tedious, users must make sure to keep this tab open and in 1st position at left. Probably not worth the hassle.

(Edit half a year later:
if anyone needs such an automatic "first" tab, that is possible now. It's a side-effect of my new macro "OnCloseLastTab" http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,149604 )

I see...
Due to ID_CLOSE_ALLOTHERTAB, I have thought it is possible.
I stand ID_CLOSE_ALLOTHERTAB

The point is that you can, but you can't discriminate between left or right. If you just want a button, without care to close those at left, or right, except the current focus tab, yes, that command ID is for it, and a button could be appended to the toolbar, but, as said, it can't discriminate.

You can register observer and receive these notifications:

kmeleon-createwindow
kmeleon-opentab
kmeleon-closetab
kmeleon-switchtab

So, you can write code to track when km open, switch or close a tab, then you can use this data for anything you want.
This would be a partial solution, because there is missing part or notification 'kmeleon-movetab'. This means, you will not be able to write code to tracking this part and if you start moving tabs around,
you will get a real mess.
roytam is still active here, you can ask him to add a part for missing notification, in the meantime, you can try this without missing part.

Update 2019:
Use new macro "CloseLeftRightTabs"
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,149634

Then right-click on the normal Close-Page button in the toolbar [x]
The macro has added new menu entries to "Close All Left/Right Tabs"

If someone needs the direct commands for keyboard shortcuts, use those:
macros(CloseLeftRightTabs_LEFT)
macros(CloseLeftRightTabs_RIGHT)

Or for extra buttons, manually defined in toolbars.cfg, the same but with right-click menu:
macros(CloseLeftRightTabs_LEFT)|CloseTab
macros(CloseLeftRightTabs_RIGHT)|CloseTab
