For example: <code>*.py, 1:4, \123, ?myfolder</code> will keep all <code>.py</code> files, tabs in the 1-4 range, the file <code>123</code>, and files in <code>myfolder</code> open.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <strong>Tab History</strong>: <ul> <li>Quickly restore closed tabs by pressing <code>h</code> in Tab Mode or run<code>Tabby: Open Tabs from History</code>.
