Reopen closed tab in Visual Studio 2012

In my web browser (Google Chrome), after a tab is closed, I can re-open it with the menu item 'reopen closed tab'. (Firefox has this feature too, 'undo close tab'.)

How can I do undo closing a tab in Visual Studio 2012?


I found this similar question from 2009, but the accepted answer doesn't work for Visual Studio 2012. Reopen last closed tab in Visual Studio

The Productivity Power Tools extension has the Undo Close functionality. Some of the older extensions designed for VS2010 may not work correctly in VS2012, also quite a lot of functionality from these extensions has been incorporated in VS2012.

In Visual Studio 2012/2013, use CTRL+SHIFT+Z to undo close.

Did you tried with the 2010 version of PowerCommands ?
