Reopen Closed Tab in Chrome (Windows)

Press Ctrl + Shift + T to bring back the tab you closed last.

What it does

The tab returns to the place it had in the tab strip, with its back and forward history. Press again to bring back the one closed before it, and so on, in the order the tabs were closed. It also restores a whole window that was closed. It does not work for the tabs of an Incognito window: those are forgotten when they close.
