Tabs possibly closed by my error

Post by GamaRex »

Ver 11.5: I had perhaps 15 tabs open, and at some point I must have done something that closed possibly half of them. The tabs that remained were my usual favorites, which makes me think that the tabs that closed were the ones to the right of the remaining ones. Can anyone think of what I might have clicked or done to close those tabs, so that I don't do it again?

The most likely suspect is Close all other unlocked tabs, accessible from View > Tab, the tab context menu as well as through the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+W.

That sounds reasonable, but there's no indication that the remaining open tabs are locked (though I may will start locking them now).

In any case, if something like this happens, you can always do a Restart without Saving to go back to the configuration that was last saved (which probably still has all of your tabs).

You can also save a backup copy of your tabset (if you have the Pro version).

Thanks for that. However, I found my answer: I must have clicked the button for Toggle Active Pane which I have next to the Show Info Panel button. I found my earlier tab group in the other Pane.

Glad it was that simple after all.
