Bug 273235

Description Jérôme Gras 2009-04-22 07:30:04 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #236240 +++
This is an idea I stole from firefox tabmix plugin.
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1122

I would like to be able to re-open the last editor closed tab with a simple
shortcut, like say ctrl-F12.

There are many useful feature in plugins like tab_mix, the "reopen last closed
tab" is by far the most useful.

It became habit to use Ctrl-F12 even in eclipse (where it doesn't do anything),
so I hope this feature is accepted

If the editor you just closed was active, then you can simply use
Alt+Left_Arrow to bring it back.

ok thank you I didn't came to my mind that you can come back to a closed file
with alt+left

I guess this feature request should be closed..

is this really the 236240th bug/feature_request ?

Hello,

I don't agree with this solution.
Of course, if you just closed the file you want to reopen, it does work.
But, if you have a dozen tabs open and you did close one of the first files by
mistake (clicking the hidden cross for example), the shortcut Alt+Left_Arrow
doesn't work !

I hope you understand and accept this feature request. :-)

In the end, I agree with Jerome and myself ^^ that this feature does not exist,
but since I can live with the alt-arrow most of the time, I didn't came back to
support this
