While editing in an input field, I’m so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it’s more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I’d love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating.
TL;DR: old man yelling at clouds.

CTRL + SHIFT + T (multiple times if needed) will reopen the last closed tab.
Problem solved
I know, but this happens only when editing text. Tab closed = text gone.
Doesn’t your browser warn you about closing a tab with an active text input field in it? I get an “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popup.
Pretty sure that’s been the shortcut since Mozilla Phoenix (now Firefox) introduced tabs in 2002 or so.
