The Greatest Keyboard Shortcut Ever

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.

Huh? What?

Maybe it's the alcohol... But I really have no idea what the summary is talking about.

Thank you

Well, it was news to me, and something I've been wishing for, for a long time, and didn't know how to do. So, I appreciate it.

OK, I can see this becoming a filler article on some crappy "tech" website (coughcoughgizmodocough). But Slashdot? Seriously?

And it's not even written for our audience.

To be fair, I recently asked someone about what forum someone could point me to where slashdotters could freely talk about encryption. We can only talk about something for about 2 days here, and then container story gets buried no matter how important the topic. When the Journal system debutted here it sort of provided that, but besides technolust there was very little eyeball traffic.
Your post made me realize that what /. is missing is a forums.slashdot.org. Imagine a PHP-like board where we can post freely and start our own new topics or questions without needing to mind how long ago something was added. Stuff like reddit comes to mind, but it's too mainstream and joke-ish. Others have stringent rules where everything must be on topic (stackexchange et all) and moderation is too in your face, causing competition (down to editing, moving and closing other people's threads) / there's no real community, unless you count meta.

Maybe it's a new "achievement".
