The Greatest Keyboard Shortcut Ever 506
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Ryan Vogt writes in the Mercury News that Shakespeare described death as 'the undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn no traveller returns.' Did you know there is a the miraculous way to resuscitate tabs sent to the 'undiscovere'd country,' a sort of Ctrl-Z for the entire Internet, that means 'no more called-out cusswords, no more wishing the back button had you covered when, aiming to click on a tab, you accidentally hit the little X on the tab's starboard.' For Macs: Command [plus] shift [plus] t reopens the last tab. For PCs: Ctrl [plus] Shift [plus] T. 'Try it right now. Close this tab and bring it back. I dare ya.' Melia Robinson's trick [described for Chrome] works in Firefox and Internet Explorer, too, so clumsy mousing won't send the the E*Trade tab you mistakenly closed all cued up to sell those 10,000 shares of stock or your long political post on your uncle's Facebook page on a one-way trip to the undiscovere'd country in those browsers, either." No guarantees on the stock trading.

Maybe it's the alcohol... But I really have no idea what the summary is talking about.
I didnt know either, but after I used the greatest shortcut ever, porn popped up. So it's a porn-regrabber!

It's sort of trendy here to talk about how the once-great Slashdot has fallen, and I've mostly considered those people to be whiny old men.
Today, I realize that they were right.

It's where some half-assed tech journalist wannabe discovers the History -> Reopen Last Closed Window shortcut (and the Chrome equivalent) and wants to blare it from the rooftops like we've cured cancer or something.
He's gonna lose his freaking mind when he discovers Time Machine.

Thirded. No clue what this is actually about.
I think this is a story about a guy who logs into some banking/trading platform only to leave it idle and proceed to random web browsing in other tabs of the same browser instance.
I'm sure the story doesn't end well.
The greatest shortcut is Ctlr-Alt-Delete (Score:5, Funny)
It should have been used on the computer before submitting this article.
Disappointing,

Come back when it lets me undo posting Slashdot comments with mipselled words.

I just find the following part humorous: "a sort of Ctrl-Z"
Why is that humorous to me? Because I use Opera, which maps "control-z" to restore an accidentally closed tab. ;)

So it suspends the internet. Wouldn't the rest of the world find that annoying?
