How can I undo a recently closed tab in Nautilus?

  • 772

Most browsers have a 'undo closed tab' which will reopen a closed tab in case you closed it by mistake. For firefox, it's ctrl+shift+t. Can I replicate this behaviour in nautilus and how?

I looked at nautilus shortcuts but couldn't find a shortcut for that.

Assume you have a deeply nested folder thats open in a tab in nautilus, then as you go to select it, you accidentally close it. Now to reopen the tab, you will have to manually track it down under multiple other folders. Am looking for a shortcut (not necessarily keyboard) to restore the tab in the current open nautilus.

    I don't think Nautilus or any of the major file browsers have this feature.

    The only File manger I have seen this feature is ranger.

    According to ranger website:

    ranger is a file manager with VI key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy.

    In ranger you can use uq keybinding to undo closed tabs.

  2. Till now there is no shortcut for this behavior. You just can't open recently closed tab.

    Please note that nautilus is a file browser and it's totally different from web browsers such as firefox and google chrome.

    I don't think there exists a file browser with this feature to the best of my knowledge.
