How to close an open tab in the browser, or all about working with tabs
Working with computer programs implies,that a person is well versed in a particular software. Unfortunately, sometimes even elementary commands of applications can not be mastered. For example, users often wonder how to close an open tab in the browser. The answer to such a question we will need to find further. We will learn how to work with the tabs of Internet browsers. All this will help to quickly manage with any browser, saving time.
Tab actions
The tab is an open browser page. With it you can perform different operations. Thinking about how to close an open tab, it is important to be able to perform other actions with it.
Namely:
- open;
- restore;
- add to bookmarks;
- update;
- open and close massively.
All this should be able to do every user. Fortunately, similar commands are executed in almost all Internet browsers approximately equally. Therefore, the proposed instructions can be useful to every user.
Opening and updating
How do I close an open tab? First, we'll learn how to open the pages and update them. Otherwise, there will simply be nothing to close!
To open a new page, you need:
- Open the browser and click on the button (usually with the "+") located above the address bar.
- Press Ctrl + T.
- Click on the place where you want to open the PKM page, and then select the menu item "New Masonry".
These techniques work reliably. And how to update the pages? This will help the following recommendations:
- Press on the keyboard Ctrl + F5 (F5, Fn + F5).
- On the active page, right-click on any place and click on "Update".
- With the cursor, click on the button with the image of the twisted arrow. It is located near the address bar of the browser.
That's all. Now you can think about how to close recently opened tabs.
The simplest
To do this, as it is not difficult to guess, is allowed by different methods. Let's start with the simplest action. It is used in practice more often than others.
How do I close the tab in Chrome? To do this, just click the cursor (left button) on the cross on a page. More precisely, on the tab. This control is in the upper right corner.
Such a pop-up suggests closing only one tab. Which one? The one that the user himself decides to remove.
Keys
Close the last tab, like any other,it is possible with certain keyboard shortcuts. Secret combinations make it easy to work with the OS and its programs. And browsers are no exception here.
To close an active active page, you'll have to press Ctrl + W. Some browsers use Ctrl + F12.
Now it is clear how to close the tab in the Opera. This browser works with the combination "Control" + "Ef12". But the first combination here can work. In other browsers, it works exactly.
Help the mouse
There is another rather interesting approach. It allows users to more closely examine the process of completing work with some open pages. To implement it, we need a mouse and a cursor on the screen.
How do I close an open tab? Press the RMB on the selected page. In the appeared menu it is enough to click the cursor on this or that command. It will be executed immediately, without confirmation.
What teams are invited to do this? For example:
- close the current page;
- Complete all tabs to the right / left of the selected;
- close all open sites except the current one;
- duplicate the selected tab.
Fast, convenient and simple. This method really helps. And even advanced PC users use it. After all, the combination of keys is not always known or takes place.
Recovery
We figured out how to close the tab (last and not only). If the user did this by mistake, you will have to restore the control.
The best way to do this is:
- Open a new tab.
- Click on the tab of the PCM page.
- Click on "Restore private ...".
A similar action occurs when you press Ctrl + Shift + T. Restoration is performed instantly.
At once and all
How do I close open tabs at once? For example, if there are already many pages in the browser, provided that you need to get rid of them?
The fastest and easiest solution is to closethe browser itself. With it, all open tabs will be closed if the browser does not save the last sessions. This setting is usually disabled.
Close the browser is offered through the application of the following methods:
- Click the button with a cross in the upper right corner;
- click on the PCM launcher on the open browser and select the appropriate command;
- open the "Task Manager", go to the "Applications" section, select the browser and click "Finish".
In fact, working withInternet browsers and open pages - this is not the most difficult task. Even modern schoolchildren cope with it. Therefore, many people know about the listed recommendations.
Outcomes
We've figured out how to close recently opened tabs. The proposed manuals are relevant for computers, for almost all available Internet browsers.
In some programs to work with the network, you canto expose combinations of "hot keys" for performing certain actions. The corresponding add-ins will be stored in the browser settings. This means that users themselves can set keyboard shortcuts to close, open and restore open Web sites.
In the "Opera" you can set the settings for closing tabs by double clicking on them. There is also a combination of Shift + click on the right page.
