Feature suggestion: recently closed PDF tabs list

jessriedel

Not too infrequently, I want to re-open a paper I had been recently viewing as a PDF within Zotero desktop (also Zotero iPad) but then closed and forgot enough details to pull it up on search. It would be nice to have an action (e.g., from the menubar on desktop) to view a list of paper PDFs that have been opened in ordered starting from most recent. Ideally, this would keep a history of length set in some option in zotero settings (including "infinite" history length) rather than, e.g., just the last 10, although even 10 would be great.

Previously mentioned in discussion here

but I created this new dedicated thread (since I think that's the proper procedure).

@jukatz9, @jessriedel : Looks like in the latest Zotero version, pressing [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [T] reopens the lastly closed tab, and [Ctrl] + [W] closes the current tab (same shortcuts as in most web browsers).

@matthiasluh : That's good to know! Although it's really only useful when you accidentally close a tab.

Still +1 on this, as a list of recently opened items/attachments would be even more useful.

A Recently Read collection is coming soon.

@dstillman, would that Recently Read collection be down next to duplicate items? Still very interested in that feature :)

Will the recently read collection be available across devices? And through the API?

+100 7.0 is fantastic, but please let me close my tabs. I have so many open and I'm terrified to close them.
