Description Mark Howard 2003-09-03 08:49:45 UTC
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.

Well it's your call!  I'm not going to complain viciously about it.

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.
