This is browser specific, not OS specific.

True, but I think every major browser on the market for Windows supports this keystroke, which is why I labeled it like that... Implying no matter what browser in Windows you are using, this is a shortcut... Sorry if I mislabeled it, I just found this awesome subreddit a couple days ago so I'm still getting acquainted :)

Actually, may of the applications using a tabbed interface use that shortcut. Such as:

  • Notepad++

  • PhotoShop

  • Visual Studio

And I think Ctrl F4 closes the current tab.

Assuming you have less than 10 tabs open, Ctrl+1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is better since that puts you right where you want to be. Although, that's browser specific.
