Reopen closed tab

Feature Request

Summary

Reopen closed tab.

iTerm is great in that when you restart it, you get back all your tabs and their terminal output history. However, if you accidentally close a tab, your content is gone -- which can be frustrating when you're debugging and you accidentally hit Command-W at the wrong time.

With the right considerations for not bloated backing-stores, it would be pretty awesome to be able to "reopen closed tab" like you can in Google Chrome etc to at least get back to a terminal with the log history you just lost...

Alternatives

Concerns

  • Privacy

I suppose no worse than current memory of terminal contents.

  • Performance
  • Memory
  • Complexity

Seems like a relatively easy add given current capabilities of iTerm...

  • Is this an instance of a more general problem?
