Slashdot Mirror
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.
It's saying that "undo close tab" is a thing. Somehow this is a surprise to some people.
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!
When the foot seeks the place of the head, the line is crossed. Know your place. Keep your place. Be a shoe.
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.
Next on slashdot: Did you know you can read the paper while taking a shit?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
All I use is alt+s on firefox, and click one of the last places I was at.
God spoke to me
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.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?

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.

Somehow it claims it's "a sort of Ctrl-Z for the entire Internet".
Come back when it lets me undo posting Slashdot comments with mipselled words.
Wow with the backspace key I can remove my mistakes without having to put whiteout all over my monitor!

What do you think this is, Reddit?
Something actually works in Explorer? That must be the "news" part of the article.
A little bane.
Is he fighting a little Batman?
I didn't know about this! I've been the IT career for most of my career life!
I tried it today and it blew my mind! I first went around showing all my co-workers this. They were super amazed and thought I was extra smart!
They told my manager how incredibly smart I am and I gained +1 to salary! Thank you Slashdot!
Now all the cute blondes at work worship me to! Knowing this has made me more attractive and successful, and gets me laid!
Please post more articles like this, a few more and I will be the CEO of a major corporation by being the super office hero guy.

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. ;)
You've Got to be Kidding Me
Go home, timothy, you are drunk.
Wait for the dupe in a couple of hours.
This got greenlit? Really? Maybe I should post an article about a wunnerful shortcut that almost always lets you restart your computer without power cycling. Hold these 3 keys down at the same time: control - alt - delete. I call it the 3 finger salute. Maybe I should patent the idea and trademark the name and retire?
In other breaking news "CTRL+P" brings up the print dialog! "CTRL+S" SAVES!!!!! More news at eleven!
No. Go back to bed.

...which rules out 99% of my....cow-orkers,.....
Tell me something:
What is orking, and how do you do it to a cow?
On second thought....I might not want to know the answer to that...... :)
"City hall" in German is "Rathaus" Kinda explains a few things......
I just closed this tab and tried it... I was very sad to see this article return.
Somehow it claims it's "a sort of Ctrl-Z for the entire Internet".
So it suspends the internet. Wouldn't the rest of the world find that annoying?
