Tech Tip: Ctrl+Shift+T

tech tip

Ever accidentally close your Chrome browser and automatically done a face palm as you realize you lost all your open tabs? Oh no!!  Let us introduce you to the Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut (for Mac users:  Command+Shift+T) and it will save the day.  This one command will open a single tab you have recently closed in the Chrome browser.

Did you accidentally close multiple tabs? That's okay, too.  Keep pressing Ctrl+Shift+T and they will reappear in the order they were closed!
