Note: this is not a duplicate of How can I get Safari to reopen my last closed tab?
I am familiar with the shortcut ⌘+Z working when the tab was just closed. However, I often do something else that I don't want to undo.
For instance, I sometimes close a tab, write half and answer on Stack Exchange, realize I didn't want to close it, and am then stuck with accessing the history manually.
So, is there any Safari shortcut or menu item specifically for reopening my last closed tab?
Update: This isn't a fix, but if your only problem is not wanting to undo anything besides closed tabs (and you don't care about having something that'll always work), setting a shortcut for "Undo Close Tab" in Keyboard preferences will filter the shortcut to closed tabs only!

With the new macOS Sierra, it is possible to use the keyboard shortcut ⌘⇧T to reopen the last closed tab – à la Chrome and other browsers.
The previous shortcut, ⌘Z, allowed you to reopen closed tabs, but was more of a "general purpose" button which allowed you to reopen closed tabs, but also to undo other actions. The new shortcut is specifically meant to reopen closed tabs.
