Taking Ctrl: Reopen a tab in Chrome

The Problem

We’ve all been there.
That tab that we had open ten minutes ago has just disappeared!
Luckily, theres a solution for that.

The Solution

Pressing Ctrl + Shift + T (Command + Shift + T on a mac) will reopen crashed or closed Chrome tabs.
You can repeat this shortcut until it runs out of tabs and closed windows to restore from your history.
