Reopen closed tabs

Closed a tab you still needed? Bring it back with one shortcut, or find the page in History if it was a while ago.

Reopen with the keyboard

Press ⇧⌘T, or choose File › Reopen Closed Tab. The last tab you closed comes back in the Space it was in, at the same place in the list, with its back and forward history. If it was pinned, it comes back pinned.

Press it again to bring back the one you closed before that. Tern keeps your last 25 closed tabs while it's open. After you quit, look for the page in History instead.

Find it in History

History holds every page you've visited, newest first, in every Space. It's kept on this Mac only.

1. Open History.Press ⌘Y, or choose View › Show All History.
2. Search for the page.Type a word from its title or address in Search history.
3. Open it.Double-click the page, or right-click it and choose Open in New Tab.

Right-clicking a page in History also offers Copy Address, and Forget This Page to take it out of History.

Pages from a Desk

If you closed a page that was part of a Desk, open the Desk and press ⌥⌘Y for Desk History. From an earlier moment you can bring back pages you've closed since, as tabs, without changing the Desk. See Lay out a Desk.

What isn't kept

• Private windows keep no history, so their pages can't be found later. See Private windows.
• Clearing your history in Settings › General, with Clear History…, forgets every page you visited in every Space. Open tabs, sign-ins and downloads stay.
