Immediatly after closing a tab accidently the most intuitional shortcut is pressing ctrl + z / undo - much more than ctrl-shift-t - so there should be the possibility to use this widespread combination to reopen it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a tab with something.
2. Close the tab
3. press ctrl + z ;)
Actual Results:  
nothing ;)

Expected Results:  
reopen the tab

1) This should be marked as an enhancement
2) If you change undo tab from Ctrl+Shift+T to Ctrl+Z, users might get confused when a previous tab appears when really they mean to 'undo' inside a textbox (or something of this sort)

Comment 2

[Christoph Müller]

1) changed
2) this should not happen if the shortcut is only used for restoring a tab if the last user-action was closing the tab
