In detail
TabCmdr reads the browser’s own list of recently closed tabs, so there is nothing to set up and nothing extra stored.
:r lists the tabs you closed with the most recent at the top. Each row shows how long ago you closed it, such as Just now, 18m ago or 3h ago. TabCmdr reads up to 24 recent entries from the browser and lists the tabs among them.
:r to search closed tabs by title or address.In a normal search, matching closed tabs appear below your open tabs and recent history. Type a word from the page and you’ll find it whether the tab is still open or not.
:h searches your history for it.Run Undo Close Tab to reopen the last tab you closed in one step. Type undo, press ↵, and TabCmdr confirms with Tab restored, or tells you No recently closed tabs.
:c undo finds it too.Type any word after :r to narrow the list, instead of reopening tabs one by one until the right one comes back.
Closed more than you meant to with Close Duplicate Tabs or Close Other Tabs? Those tabs are in Recently Closed too.
The browser keeps a short list of closed tabs. For anything older, :h searches your browsing history.
Open the palette, type :r and press ↵. Your hands stay on the keyboard the whole time.
Recently Closed uses the closed tabs permission. Grant it once from the palette, and turn it off any time in settings.
The list comes from the browser’s own session history. TabCmdr reads it when the palette opens and keeps no copy.
