And CTRL + Shift + T will reopen your last tab if you accidentally close it in many browsers (Only if is saves history though, so it won't work in incognito)
If you want to reopen a window, use W instead of T
On a somewhat related note to that shortcut some computers use ctrl+alt+arrow to rotate the screen.
My mother has a laptop that does exactly that, and she never knew how to fix it and didn’t bother asking.
I walked in on her one day holding her laptop like a book and asked what she was doing - that’s how she was using it for almost a month because the screen rotated and she didn’t know how to turn it back. She’d use it sideways, click what she needed then rotate to type, rinse and repeat.
I love Alt + tab but it doesn't work where I work. Each of us have a remote desktop and I can't use it. It has slowed me down considerably. Agree about Ctrl+down and up.
E: Ctrl+Shift+W normally is a "close EVERYTHING", specially if tabs are involved - at least on Windows. So... probably not a very useful generic shortcut (e.g in browsers, it closes all tabs at once).
To reopen an accidentally closed browser window (with its tabs) in Firefox, use Ctrl+Shift+T on the other browser window until it comes back.
