I've just met a really nice Chrome shortcut key combo
-
CTRL+SHIFT+T - reopens the last closed tab and switches to it. Pressed it by accident - didn't realise Chrome was focussed - and thought "where did that come from?". Checked, and yes, that's what it does. Handy! How often have you shut a tab by mistake and sworn?

It's been there for a while ... love it, can't live without it ... look at the Chrome history menu (from the 3 dot menu button) and the shortcut is shown... [edit] here are some more for you... Google Chrome shortcut keys[^]

The only problem is that CTRL+SHIFT+T doubles as the "I give you permission to transmit every tiny personal detail about me that you can find on this computer to twenty-seven different google servers, from where it will be sold on to any wonderful and phenomenally trustworthy organisation who will pay us money for it" keyboard shortcut. Mind you, the keyboard shortcuts "A", "B", "C", "D", etc. issue the same permissions.

Vivaldi is one less key: Ctrl + Z. Can't go wrong with the universal undo.

Really useful when you have to restart and you've got 11 open tabs - including this one - and haven't saved the URLs. Restart. Start Chrome. One home-screen tab. CTRL+SHIFT+T. A new Chrome window opens with all 11 "lost" tabs open! Love it!

Exists in Edge as well, as I just found out. I personally close a tab I am still interested in a couple times per week, but I never swear. Until now, I've been using the context menu to reopen it.

I thought you were gonna mention ALT+F4. It performs a better function with far greater purpose. ;P

ctrl-shift-T is indispensable. For an added bonus, it works in Firefox too ;P

Dont forget CTRL+F4... Closes the current tab.
