If you have accidentally closed a browser tab, there is a quick way to restore it in Windows. So in this video we demonstrate how you can restore a closed browser tab by using a keyboard shortcut.
Its worth noting that you can also restore an accidentally closed 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 also tested this keyboard shortcut with other browsers and can confirm that it works with Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox. So we suspect that it will also work with the Brave and Opera browsers.
Quick reference notes:
- If you accidentally close a browser tab
- Press and hold down Control and Shift
- Now press T on the keyboard
- This will restore the previously closed browser tabs
