If you accidentally closed a browser tab, there is a quick way to restore it in ChromeOS. So in this video we demonstrate how you can recover a closed browser tab by using a keyboard shortcut.
Its worth noting that you can also restore a close web tab by reviewing the History in your browser. However we find it more useful to memorise the shortcut keys to quickly restore an accidentally closed web page.
Notes: We have tested this keyboard short and can confirm that it will also work with other browsers running from within Linux Development Environment.
Quick reference notes:
- If you accidentally close a browser tab
- Press and hold down Control and Shift
- Now press T on the keyboard
- The previously closed webpage will reload in a new tab
