Ctrl-Z Reopen Closed Tab: Quick Tab Recovery

"Ctrl-Z Reopen Closed Tab" is a Chrome extension enabling users to swiftly reopen closed tabs in their browser. Notably, it supports the use of the Ctrl+Z shortcut on Windows and the Command+Z shortcut on Mac, offering an alternative to the usual Ctrl+Shift+T. However, it does not restore tabs closed before a complete Chrome shutdown. Users seeking personalization are encouraged to make their modifications to the provided functionality.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

With this extension, you can press Ctrl+Z (Command+Z on Mac) to reopen a closed tab. Ctrl+Shift+T will still work. You should install this if you're used to Ctrl+Z to reopen closed tabs and/or you don't like stretching your fingers to type Ctrl+Shit+T. Although, honestly, I don't care if you use this or not.

Known bugs: When you start Chrome after it has been completely closed, pressing Ctrl+Z won't reopen closed tabs from the last time Chrome was running, but Ctrl+Shift+T will.

Q: I want it to use a different keyboard shortcut!! A: That's great. Do it yourself.

Q: I found a bug, please fix it!! A: No. Fix it yourself.
