GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 121341
undo close window

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=194062 requests: Every now and again, I accidentally close a tab (which may or not be the last one). It would be really useful to have an "undo" for this - Ctrl-Z maybe ;-) which re-opens the last closed window. Sometimes I can find the site again (maybe in tools->history), but sometimes it's lost.

I dunno - it just needs to keep track of the last closed window and then find a way of letting you go back (e.g. go->last closed page). I have a surfing habit of opening lots of tabs (e.g. google for something, right click on half a dozen links, then go through them). Every now and again I accidentally close one just as I see something interesting and think "oops -hang on!" Sometimes finding that page again can be quite nasty. > If you can supply a detailed description of how this would work then I > will forward it upstream. Otherwise, I don't want to waste their time. Well it's your call! I'm not going to complain viciously about it. > Please include details of: > User interface > Any settings > Usability > What to do when closing many windows at once tough :-) Handling a bit of carelessness is one thing, handling alot is another. I suppose you could be nice and remember the last n closed windows. Adrian

there are two firefox extensions that do this (I suppose they work for Mozilla too, just haven't tried). It's insanely useful and probably the primary reason why I have been using Firefox rather than my favourite browser.
oops sorry about the half-post. My point was to link to the extension(s) which may possibly give hints to UI and implementation. Here they are: http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=58&vid=170 http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_tabextensions.html.en
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
