Closed tabs and sessions

Reopen closed tabs, save sessions to open later, and choose what Luma opens when it starts.

Reopen closed tabs

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the last tab you closed, in its place and with its history. Press it again for the one before.
  • Or right-click a tab and choose Reopen closed tab.
  • Or press Ctrl+Shift+A: after your open tabs, the list shows the recently closed ones. Type to find one, then press Enter.

A closed group comes back whole, with all its tabs. Each window remembers the last 50 tabs and groups closed in it, until you close the window. Private windows don’t keep them.

Bring back a deleted workspace

Right after you delete a workspace, a message offers Undo. Later, the ⋯ menu has Reopen “…” for each workspace you deleted, until you close Luma. The workspace comes back with the tabs that are still open.

Choose what opens at startup

In Settings › General, On startup has three choices:

  • Open a new tab: Luma starts with a new tab. This is the default.
  • Continue where you left off: Luma reopens your windows as you left them, with their workspaces, tabs and groups.
  • Open a specific page: Luma starts on the page you type in Home page.

Saved sessions

A saved session holds all your open windows, with their workspaces and groups, so you can open them again later.

  1. Open Settings › General and find Sessions.
  2. Under Save current session, type a name and choose Save.

Your saved sessions are listed under it, with their date and number of tabs. Open opens a session in new windows, next to the ones you already have; Remove deletes it. A saved session keeps the pages of each tab, not what you had typed into them.

Open tabs imported from another browser land here too, as a session ready to open: see Import from another browser.

Automatic snapshots

While you browse, Luma also saves a snapshot of your session every hour. The most recent are under Automatic snapshots (hourly), in the same Sessions section: open one to get back tabs from earlier, even if Luma started with a new tab. If the last session can’t be read when Luma starts, it uses the newest snapshot.
