More about the history tab

While it isn't yet possible to reopen a recently closed web tab in Shift via keyboard shortcut, you can use the history tab to find the tab again if you recently went into the tab, but accidentally closed it. The history tab shows you the most recent web view history in Shift, including opened web tabs and sidebar accounts you've gone into. It's not yet possible to view or search your full browsing history in Shift.
