Finder has no command to reopen a closed tab. Choose “Go › Recent Folders”, and choose the folder. With [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), Shift+Command+T reopens the last closed tab, like in a browser.

## With Supercharge

1. Open [Supercharge](https://sindresorhus.com/supercharge), and give it the access that it asks for in [“Device Control and Data Access”](https://sindresorhus.com/apps/faq#device-control-access).
1. Open the Supercharge settings, and click “Tweaks”.
1. In the “Finder” section, turn on “Reopen closed tab with Shift+Command+T”.
1. Close a tab in Finder with Command+W, and press Shift+Command+T. The tab comes back.

It only reopens tabs that you closed with Command+W. The tab comes back at the end of the tab bar, not at its old place.

## Without an app

- **Recent Folders:** Choose “Go › Recent Folders”, and choose the folder.
- **Sidebar:** Open the folder again from the Finder sidebar, or with “Go › Go to Folder…” (Shift+Command+G).

These are enough when you know where the folder was. Supercharge is for when your fingers expect Shift+Command+T, like in a browser.
