Oops, I clicked a random tab, now I can’t find my previous tab.

Surely there is a keyboard shortcut to go back where I was ?

Note : I have 2185 tabs open in 21 windows

    There’s an option in the settings to make Ctrl+Tab cycle by last used tabs instead of the order they appear in in the tab bar. I have that turned off, so can’t tell you 100% whether it does what you want…

    Otherwise of course if you still know the name of the tab, just type whatever you can remember into the address bar, that is how I find tabs usually.

      I can’t use ctrl+tab, first because it will wake up every tab that I sequentially go through. And second, because that I will have to go through hundreds of tabs this way.

      Actually, I tried and this is what it looks like this, so it seems ctrl+tab no longer cycles through tabs ?

      My tab wasn’t in this list

      I found my tab, the title didn’t help, it only had the name of the website, of which I have hundreds of tabs open, so I couldn’t find it. I ended up using “tab manager plus” and finding which tabs in the list weren’t discarded tabs. Still very tedious.

      I notice this happens often. When ever I open a tab from the taskbar, then I can’t find my way back to the tab I was on, since they open at the very end on the tab list.

      It’s weird, there doesn’t seem to be a “go to previous tab” keyboard binding !?
