You might recall this comical scene from "The Emperor's New Groove" featuring the incomparable Eartha Kitt: "Pull the lever, Kronk! ... WRONG LEVER!!! ... Why do we even HAVE that lever?"
Well, something like that happened to me yesterday. I was working fast and hard on my online job, with at least 17 tabs open in three different windows (all essential for what I do). In right-clicking to perform a function, I accidentally hit "Close all tabs."
ARRRGGGHHH. Wrong lever!!
Cue the wail of frustration. Closing all tabs not only – well, closed all my tabs, but it also meant I had to log into everything all over again before I could get back to work. As I griped to a coworker, "Why does that option even exist???"
Okay, rant over.
There is a way to undo that, but I don't know it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what browser you are using, but most (if not all?) have an option to reopen all "recently closed" tabs.
ReplyDeleteI use PaleMoon. It -- and several others -- have an option to "Warn Before Closing Multiple Tabs. Love it! HTH
ReplyDeleteCtrl, shift, T will reopen closed tabs.
ReplyDeleteLaughing nervously… just wish they would ask our opinion before developing those options!
ReplyDeleteI write for a living and I've definitely made noises of frustration when I accidentally close a tab instead of clicking on one. So annoying!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this relatable story!
