Description

Description

The ⇧⌘T keyboard shortcut is a common shortcut to bring back closed tabs. A FileHistory service will be needed to keep track of the files that were opened in specific order. The user should be able to keep pressing ⇧⌘T to bring back as many tabs as the FileService saved.

The tab history should be per window, however if all tabs are closed in a window and that window is closed, this shortcut will bring back the last tab in a new window, like it was before.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the CodeEdit codebase to understand current tab management and keyboard shortcut registration. Investigate how file history is managed (e.g., a service). Look at existing implementations for reopening closed tabs in other editors. Design a FileHistory service that stores recent tabs per window. Plan the user interface for the shortcut action.
