Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by jase439[/i] [br]Hello, I frequently find myself using the Goto function to "visit" different source files when the context provided by tooltips does not suffice. More often than not, I am using Goto to explore how something is implemented or how it was intended to be used. However, when I'm done with this task I want to "Go Back" to where I was last editing without having to visit the Open Documents drop down or Window menu or various ALT+## hotkeys. More often than not I use Goto as a temporary "drill down" function when the intention, most of the time, is to return back to the original edit position and resume coding. Such a feature would retain the users last N Goto history until they do something to navigate away or change the editor context (manually switch windows, start editing, etc.) The behavior is analogous to the forward/back behavior in most modern browsers. Alternatively, it might be nice to have a "Peek" button which performs similarly to Goto except that the target document is visible only while the button is depressed and, when released, returns the client back to the current edit position. Anyway, I'm not sure if this has been requested before or maybe there is already something in VS2K8 which provides something similar but I haven't found it (if so, please illuminate). Thanks!
