Dear all,
first of all, thank's for these quick replies!
@StephenW:
(1) It is always possible to drop a bookmark so that you can go back to that spot, but I always find that I have forgotten to do that, so your idea of a "last edit location" sounds really good.
I forget dropping bookmarks before temporarely moving to other files/locations too. And this "go to last edit location" idea isn't mine, but a cool built-in feature of the "IntelliJ IDEA" Java IDE, which I strongly miss while editing non-Java stuff with Slickedit.
@hs2:
(1) there are (multilevel) 'back' and forward' commands you could bind to appr. keys
This isn't exactly what I'm looking for, as it generally requires multiple steps/keystrokes and some concentration from the user until reaching the last edit location.
@ts-tum: for symbol based navigation CTRL-DOT/-COMMA (push-tag/pop-bookmark) are fine.
But you have to "reverse" the *complete* symbol-navigation path until reaching the "startpoint" again. What I want, is *one* simple keystroke, which leads me directly back to the last edit location, regardless of the number of navigation steps/tag pushes I have done before.
@Ryan and @hs2:
Yes, unfortunately, 'undo-cursor' works only for the active buffer.
Best Regards,
Tom
