Undo close tab in editor
Show older comments
Hi,
I have a rather simple question: Is it possible to undo the closing of a tab in the editor similar to how it would work in a web browser?
Thanks!

Hi Nils,
I have tried "Ctrl+Shift+T" shorcut key in MATLAB R2025a which allows to reopen a recently closed file in the Editor. Repeating the shortcut will continue reopening previously closed files in reverse order.
To view or modify this shortcut, please follow these steps:
- Go to the Home tab on the MATLAB Toolstrip.
- Click on settings.
- Navigate to MATLAB->Keyboard->Shorcuts

Alternative ways to reopen an older file, you can use the Open > Recent Files option:
Go to the Home tab → Open dropdown → Recent File
Hope it helps!
