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 (jlai.lu)

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!

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

You're welcome

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't forget Ctrl + Shift + N

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or Ctrl+Shift+P for Firefox

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I save that one for secret fun time

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@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LinkedinLenin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] oce@jlai.lu -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's last closed tab, not window.

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

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
