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!

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alright let me do that

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

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 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.

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

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

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.
