To quickly reopen a closed tab in TradingView, or any web browser, simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+T on macOS. This universal browser shortcut instantly restores your most recently closed tab, helping you retrieve your charting setup or analysis work without a hitch.
Instant Restoration with a Keyboard Shortcut
Accidentally closing a browser tab can be disruptive, especially when you're deeply engrossed in market analysis or trading on TradingView. Fortunately, modern web browsers offer a simple, built-in solution to bring back your lost tabs with a single command.
- For Windows and Linux users: Press the
Ctrlkey,Shiftkey, andTkey simultaneously. - For macOS users: Press the
Cmdkey (Command),Shiftkey, andTkey simultaneously.
Each time you activate this shortcut, it will reopen the most recent tab you closed, working backward through your browsing history. This means if you've inadvertently closed multiple tabs, you can repeatedly press the shortcut to restore them all in the reverse order they were closed.
Why This Shortcut is Essential for TradingView Users
While TradingView itself is a web-based platform, its functionality relies on your web browser. This means the browser's native shortcuts are directly applicable and incredibly valuable for traders and analysts.
- Preserve Your Layout: If you had a specific chart layout, indicators, drawing tools, or a particular watchlist active on a tab, reopening it will often restore that exact state, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off.
- Save Time and Effort: Avoid the tedious process of navigating back to specific assets, reapplying your analysis, or recreating your workspace.
- Maintain Focus: Stay in the flow of your trading or research without the interruption of trying to find lost information.
