i would like to be able to perform a simple browser-like back/forward through the files that i'm viewing/editing. since my normal usage is to be working with many files simultaneously and i'm using the project drawer to jump around, i'm always losing track of where i was. it would be a HUGE time saver to have a "back" command that could cycle through the last few files that i've loaded into the editor.
note that i've tried using the prev/next file tab commands, but that just doesn't cut it as the tab placement is completely random based on the way i work and there are usually a couple dozen of them.
does anything like this exist?
thx. -scott

I implemented, as a proof of concept, a "global textmate bookmarking" system, which allowed you to mark locations and then “quickly” move about them. When I say quickly, it's not really instantaneous, because it relies on the txmt scheme. You will want to modify it of course, to suit your needs. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but perhaps it's not too far off. You can find details here: http://skiadas.dcostanet.net/afterthought/2006/06/09/global-textmate- bookmarking/ This requires that you mark your current location before switching files of course, so it is not ideal. Perhaps a plugin could do better.

Something which may help is ⌘T — it shows the files sorted by last recently used, so at least one level back can be achieved with ⌘T followed by return (↩).

thanks, allan. i didn't notice that one and it's been helpful in some cases... but a simple "back" shortcut would be the ultimate. -scott
