Shortcut to reopen closed tab?

Like in most browsers, Ctrl + Shift + T reopens the last closed tab, i want something similar but don't see an option for it in the Keys section. I seems possible because ThioJoe mentioned having done it and so did another forum user but didn't provide any details.

Ctrl+Shift+T is there by default these days, but if you're using a config that dates back to an old version you might need to add it.

You're right I'm using an older version, any chance you could point me in the direction for how to add it there?

Settings > Customize Toolbars. Find the menu item and double-click it. Add or change the hotkey there.

I'm not sure what you mean by menu item but trying to create a hotkey and searching in the command tab have only Undo, Undo menu, Undo log and Undo List and no undo close tab, I think I'm missing something here

The command in the Folder > Folder Tabs menu, shown in my first screenshot.

Found it, by default it was assigned to 'Crtl + Shift + W' I could find that and change the hotkey or just add "Go TABUNDOCLOSE" in the function field for a new hotkey. Thank you

There is something slightly odd here.

As you say Ctrl+Shift+T is there by default these days.

In what I believe to be a default config saved early in 13 beta days, Ctrl+Shift+T does in fact have the requested function.

Today, clicking Settings -> Customize Toolbars and Keys..., Default Toolbars then Menu -> Folder -> Folder Tabs shows Ctrl+Shift+T assigned to Undo Close Tab.

Yet, inexplicably in my currently used config and apparently that of the original poster, that function is on Cttrl+Shift+W and Ctrl+Shift+T is New Tabs for Selected. I don't THINK I, nor it would seem the original poster, intentionally redefined these. I didn't even know until today that these functions existed. I have no idea where these definitions for the keys came from nor when.

Your config dates back to an older version.

Yes, apparently.

You probably already know all this, but a clean installation of Opus 12.33 seems to have Ctrl+Shift+T assigned to New Tabs for Selected and Ctrl+Shift+W assigned to Undo Close Tab whereas a clean installation of Opus 13.4 seems to have both Ctrl+Shift+T and Ctrl+Shift+W assigned to Undo Close Tab.

I guess this means that someone on Opus 13 discovering Ctrl+Shift+T not assigned to Undo Close Tab probably inherited the Opus 12 definitions during an upgrade.

I thought I had painstakingly used Default Toolbars to update out of date toolbars.

Apparently not.
