I'm the opposite. I'm a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.

Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the tab!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alright let me do that

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ah dang it I must've used that tab to search for something else. Oh well

Yeah that's usually my strategy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also if you Ctrl+Shift+T and then click back in the re-opened tab works too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I tend to find that Ctrl+Q solves the problem immediately

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh I know. Learned that one years ago. Thanks though!

I learned this in high school since it's like an Uno reverse card for Crtl+W. They thought they had me but I outsmarted them.

Also in Firefox, when using multi-window + multi-tab browsing, if you close a window without closing all of its tabs, you can press Ctrl+Shift+N in a remaining window (of the same Profile) to reopen closed window, which will now have all the tabs that you closed the window with. You can then again press Ctrl+Shift+T on the reopened window to restore its closed tabs.

It rids you of any regret that's currently displayed on screen, sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Or ctrl+W or if you're already touching the mouse middle click.

There's always the history menu.

Bookmarks are more incriminating

Not OP, but it's learned discipline plus I can pretend I'm better than my way-too-many-tabs-open, loser co-workers.
