In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows

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!

HurlingDurling,

Command + Shift + T on mac os, and Ctrl + Shift + T for Windows

You’re welcome

lolola,

Don’t forget Ctrl + Shift + N

blackbelt352,

Or Ctrl+Shift+P for Firefox

lolola,

I save that one for secret fun time

sugar_in_your_tea,

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.

blackbelt352,

Yeah it does break the pattern but there isn’t much of an option that keeps everything super clean like tjat, unless it’s something like ctrl alt N for a private window.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yeah, I think that would be a better option, and then an eventual private tab would be intuitive too.

That’s last closed tab, not window.

Edit: actually it will reopen a window too if the last closed tab was on it.

ReversalHatchery,

I think that’s a fairly recent change, I remember reading it in the changelogs. There was also something else relating to the feature, but now I don’t remember

LinkedinLenin,

lmao yeah this one is programmed deep into my muscle memory with how often i close the wrong tabs

or close a tab only to see something interesting right as it closes

Take a better solution from a tab hoarder and research maniac. Use a combination of these addons on Firefox – OneTab, Save All Tab URLs and Open Multiple Tabs. I just save all my tabs regularly as text files and stop worrying about reliance on this feature that can put you in a dicey spot if the browser repeatedly crashes upon loading tabs and windows.

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).

PmMeFrogMemes,

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

jayknight,

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.

PmMeFrogMemes,

ah neat! :D

Makiterr,

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.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Ohh, this makes much more sense. Thanks!

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, I’ve been using Ctrl-shift-N for years, so long that I don’t recall it ever not being a thing. Basically, as soon as I needed to reopoen a closed window, I just added “shift” to do the opposite of opening a new window and it worked.

SkyeStarfall, (edited )

Uh, no, it’s certainly much older than that. I know because I have literally used it.

This has to be something else.

Edit: yeah, it’s not a new addition. It’s under “changes” in the patch notes. Big difference.

Vincent,

You could already do that; it just was a separate keyboard shortcut/menu item before.

Xttweaponttx,

Yeah! That still works for tabs it looks like, but you have to do Ctrl+shift+N to get closed windows back.

aram855, (edited )

It got removed from chrome a while ago. Have to use an extension for it.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

That’s terrible. I’m so sorry.

geno,

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.

Tippon,

Yeah, same here. I use it fairly regularly because I’m a dumbass who closes the wrong window all the time

aram855,

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.

Lenny,

I can still feel the pain when it’s 2 AM and you meant to Ctrl + Shift + T and you’re muscle memory leaks in and hits you with the Ctrl + Shift + W.

FYI there’s a confirm close option that will mitigate this terrible scenario, for anyone that’s been there before.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Or just Ctrl+shift+N will reopen that window. It has been there for years, perhaps more than a decade, and is the perfect companion to Ctrl+N, just like Ctrl+shift+T is the perfect companion to Ctrl+T.

Saved my butt a few times already.

thericcer,

I rely on this all too often…

RizzRustbolt,

Even works with 200 tabs open.

SootyChimney,

As someone who frequently has windows with 1000+ tabs, this feature has saved my bacon countless times.

QuazarOmega,

This makes me feel understood.
Who needs bookmarks anyways :')

phoenixz,

Try T

You’re welcome

Oh yeah this feature is a godsend

ReversalHatchery,

Good tip, though I have just hidden the close button with userChrome.css. It does not protect against alt+f4, though…

pillars_in_the_trees,

I have Ctrl + W and Crtl + Shift + T bound to my mouse for this reason.

I'm not judging you, because I'm sure it works for you and makes sense to you, but to me, that way of using a browser sounds like rubber-padded-cell-grade insanity.

JasSmith,

I can only speak for myself, but it's often a kind of to-do list. The tabs stay open until I've completed the tasks.

Lazycog,
@Lazycog@sopuli.xyz avatar

I am sorry to do this to you, but I have minimum of 30 tabs open at all times. Send help.

notabot,

I have at least one Firefox window open on each of about five workspaces, each with anothing up to twenty or thirty tabs open. It’s not insanity at all, no way, not at all. What’s that nurse? It’s time for my dried frog pills? Well ok then.

tim-clark,
@tim-clark@kbin.social avatar

Currently have 5 windows open with 10-30 tabs each. Use them all everyday. Easier to keep tabs open then dig through bookmarks.

That is the purpose of having tabs and multiple windows. They can sit unused until needed.

Because I’m continuously using them when I work, it’s emails, calendar and chat. They always stay there, the rest varies.
