undo close window
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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. > 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
