Oops, I clicked a random tab, now I can't find my previous tab.

Surely there is a keyboard shortcut to go back where I was ?

Note : I have 2185 tabs open in 21 windows

Ctrl+Shift+Tab is Ctrl+Tab in reverse order.

Or you can Ctrl+W to close your tab and it should pop back to the last one.

Should be noted that Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab behaves as you describe by default, but there's a checkbox in the settings to make it go through tabs left-to-right, so it's possible OP changed that behaviour...
