How can I close one selected window tab from Chrome?

Post by Fred » Sun Aug 06, 2017 5:40 pm

I cant close 1 tab in Google Chrome, only all the program. Usually this is the last open tab.
I am newbie here, so even this simple task is too difficult for me. I can do it only by simulating mouse movements and clicking on the close sign, but I am sure there are smarter ways to do this.
Anybody could help?

and then
Reopen the last closed tab, and jump to it Ctrl + Shift + t
Close the current tab Ctrl + w or Ctrl + F4

kind regards,

Yes, thank you! I realized this method by myself.
Maybe there is a way to close a Chrome tab without activating Chrome browser and sending keyboard commands to it?
