[TxMt] Re: jump back to previous location

[Timothy Bates]

That is a GREAT idea, one which I sure we have all experienced at a latent level (“God I wish I could just go back to there now…”)




tricky to implement where “there” is, but yes: let’s figure it out

My current solution is Allan’s lovely new (ish?) show all finds. 




But it’s an effort. What we need is something as intuitive as cntrl-W has turned out to be: you just “go back to the last place you were editing stuff” with a simple “return” keystroke… ^⌥⌘-G?
