Oops, I clicked a random tab, now I can't find my previous tab.

Surely there is a keyboard shortcut to go back where I was ?

Note : I have 2185 tabs open in 21 windows

I tried, it said

So, I said no

Sorry, I'll be honest, I find your browsing methods offensive, I think 2185 tab is ridiculous and you should be shutting that shit down, looking at my wife's phone with 150 tabs makes me anxious and I avoid it .. but then it also occurs to me that you should be doing you.

I don't know of a keyboard shortcut that could find your previous tab, but you were on the tab recently, did you refresh it? could it be in your recent history? This makes me vomit in my mouth a bit .. but could you open yet another tab with the same page from your browser history?

Alternatively if your scroll position on the tab matters, could you use the down arrow to the right of the infinite accordion of tabs at the top of your window and use the "Search Tabs" option to find the tab using the name of the site from your search history?
