I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!
How would people function without knowing this?? Maybe I’m just young, but this has been a thing as far back as I can remember (maybe 2010 or so), on all browsers I’ve used (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
yeah if I did ctrl-shift-T and didn’t get my tab back on a modern browser I’d assume it was a bug lol
This about reopening entire Windows that you closed, which you can undo since version 116, released August 1.
The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (Ctrl + shift + t or Command + shift + t depending on your operating system) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed. If there aren’t any tabs or windows to reopen, this command restores the previous session. This change is in anticipation of upcoming changes to recently closed tabs.
Nope, this feature has existed forever. They just changed the shortcut, previously it was Ctrl-shift-T for re-opening the last closed tab and Ctrl-shift-N for re-opening the last closed window.
What are you talking about? I used it like 2 days ago last time, no plugins. Not sure if there’s a hotkey for reopening a closed window (ctrl shift T?), but you can find it from the menu in upper right corner of the browser.
I actually checked and nope, it’s not there. Been like a year since this? what the fuck?
EDIT: I’m a moron. What happened is that before you could reopen one by right clicking any tab and clicking the option, but that option was removed. I never did the “click the empty space after the tabs” thing because I normally run 50 tabs at the same time.
Ctrl+Shift+T anywhere.
Ctrl-Shift-T for the last tab closed, Ctrl-Shift-N for the last window closed
Just checked, it appears ctrl+shit+T will also reopen a window if the last closed tab was on it.
Hm, was that always the case? I seem to remember me trying to check this years ago and it didnt work then
Ctrl+Shift+T
Command + Shift + T on mac os, and Ctrl + Shift + T for Windows
You’re welcome
I’m not a fan of that shortcut though:
- Ctrl+T - open new tab; Ctrl+shift+T - reopen closed tab
- Ctrl+N - open new window; Ctrl+shift+N - reopen closed window
- Ctrl+P - print (or apparently preview on Lemmy); Ctrl+shift+P - private window?
It breaks the nice pattern.
That’s last closed tab, not window.
Edit: actually it will reopen a window too if the last closed tab was on it.
CTRL+SHFT+t
Will reopen your last closed tab.
