Cmd + Shift + T doesn't work

Cmd + Shift + T to reopen the last closed tab does not work for me on Yosemite 10.10 (14A389) and Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25).

This worked before?! Oh hell yes, I hope this gets fixed.

Just discovered this gem:

Go to your System Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts tab and pick App Shortcuts in the list on the left. Add a new shortcut for Safari.app, and for the Menu Title enter “Undo Close Tab”. Bind it to cmd+shift+t. Not only does this let you use cmd+shift+t, it lets you undo multiple closed tabs! And you never accidentally undo your typing! Spread the word.

@adzenith not working for me on DP6 - Safari 9.0 (11601.1.43). Any ideas?

@ruimarinho Short version: in reply to your post, I discovered it was actually the Tab Options extension, which I had installed a long time ago last time I was trying to use Safari full time.

Long version: A couple days ago I was trying to swap from Chrome to Safari. I've been using Chrome for probably years, but I'm always slightly irritated by its poor scrolling and large effect on battery life. I finally decided to bite the bullet and live with Safari. I wanted to undo multiple tab closures, and Googled around a bit. I read this answer on AskDifferent, and bound the shortcut as mentioned in the update to the original question. I then found that I could undo multiple tab closures with cmd+shift+t! Commence celebration.

When you said it didn't work, I was curious why not. I went to see if maybe I had some extensions installed. Turns out whenever I last used Safari, I had installed Tab Options, and it had persisted through multiple Safari version upgrades and OS X upgrades. It gives you the ability to bind a hotkey to "Reopen Closed Tabs (one by one)". That's what you want to do. I must have tried to solve this exact problem a long time ago, solved it, and forgotten I had. Then when I bound the shortcut in Keyboard Preferences, it worked great but not for the reason I thought. Now I feel foolish!

@adzenith no worries, I was hoping for Apple to give us this gift even if as an hidden gem, but looks like that it's not the case. I was in the exact same position as you regarding Chrome vs Safari, but Safari 9 just beats Chrome in almost every aspect except tab undo and web developer tools. I've resorted to Retab which has been working pretty well for me - give it a try too!
