Is it possible to Re-open a closed tab?

[Olfert]

Can't find any mention of this feature, so:
Is it possible (by means of hotkey) to reopen a (by mistake) closed tab?
Something like browsers do by CTRL+SHIFT+T ?

[ghisler(Author)]

No, just open a new one (Ctrl+T) and use the history (Alt+Cursor down) to return to the previous directory.

[Olfert]

Ok. That's also what I've been doing so far. Maybe an idea for a future feature ?
Thanks.

Christian,

just open a new one (Ctrl+T) and use the history (Alt+Cursor down) to return to the previous directory

This, however, only works if you closed the active tab by accident.

What do you mean by that, Roman?
If you close a tab deliberately, you can't do what Author Ghisler says?

For the mavens reading, is there a way to provide a user-function that would synthesise 'Undo closed tab', and attach it to a keystroke/hotkey?

Command (in usercmd.ini):

Code: Select all

[em_reopentab]
button=wcmicons.dll,83
cmd=cm_OpenNewTab,cm_GotoPreviousDir
menu=Reopen just closed tab

Shortcut (in wincmd.ini):

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
CA+T=em_reopentab

Uses Crl+Alt+T to reopen the tab


Button (if you prefer that):

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_OpenNewTab,cm_GotoPreviousDir

wcmicons.dll,83
Reopen just closed tab

To make the button:
1. Mark the green text above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctri+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

Thanks Peter Works perfectly.

Relocated it to Ctrl+Shift+T as that is what I'm used to - I never used the previous option of "opening tabs in background" anyway...

Phred,

What do you mean by that, Roman?

If you close an inactive tab you cannot restore it this way.

Yes, I see. With a mouse-button click or a right-click 'Ctrl-W' selection?

Yes, using any method without actually activating the tab.
