Vscode: Add a "Undo Close Tab" to the context menu of tabs

[deadcoder0904]

Just like any modern browser I think this is useful.

Obviously I can go through the sidebar & open the file again but this is really handy when I have a huge number of files in a project.

@bpasero I am not talking about Closed Editor. I am talking about the files on the tab in the same project. Like in Chrome we have different tabs & if we close one tab then there is Undo Close Tab Button. I hope you get it now, if not I'll attach an image so please confirm.

@deadcoder0904 yes I do not understand what you mean

[deadcoder0904]

I had 2 tabs open - Google & Twitter & then I closed Twitter.

So now if I right click on Google Tab it gives me Undo Close Tab which will act the same way in VSCode.

The difference being in Mozilla it was Undo Close Tab & in VSCode it will be Undo Close File. Understood❓

[bpasero]

@deadcoder0904 so you only complain about the wording here or is there some functionality missing?

[deadcoder0904]

I don't think you are understanding it.

It's a feature request that will let me open a Recently Closed File in the Same Project by Right Clicking on the Open file.

You are thinking about Reopen Closed Editor & I am talking about Reopen Closed File in the same project. Both are different things.

:+1: "Undo close tab" is so useful in the browser... would also be a great feature when I close files in error.

workaround:

CTRL+P lists recently opened project files - If I remember the filename this can be very quick to use

I'm really missing this feature.
Use it all the time in chrome when I accidentally or just too soon closed a tab and want to have it back.

I'm using Reopen Closed Tab extension to achieve this functionality but it would be great if this could be added as a native feature.

@fonziemedia thanks for the recommendation! this is exactly what I missed.
would still be awesome if added as a feature, though..
