Request: undo closed tab

Post by drclark »

It would be handy to have a "reopen closed tab" option on the right-click menu of the tab line, like in Firefox. This is useful when I close a document by mistake.

Hello drclark,

You could hold down the Alt key and press the left arrow key on your keyboard and this should reopen the document you just closed by accident.

Best,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan.

I now see this is called "Previous view" in the list of keyboard shortcuts, and is also found on the View | Goto menu.

The Manual pg 105, section on Goto menu says:
"6) Previous View. Moves to the previous view. If you are on the first view, this option is disabled."

I suggest to add to the Manual that "Previous view" will also reopen closed documents that have been viewed during the session, equivalent to undo closed tab.

Nice feature!

Hello drclark,

Yes - will pass that to the people dealing with the manuals for an update.

Best,
Stefan
