Did you know… How to quickly Navigate Forward and Navigate Backward within code

Another one of those “how did I never see this before” and “now I can’t live without it”.  Say you’re working with several code files or a large code file, and you want to quickly jump back to where you were before.  On the standard toolbar, there are icons for forward and backward (next to the Start icon).  Click backward, and you’ll navigate to the last drop marker.  Click forward, and you’ll navigate to the most recently-visited drop marker.  The keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+- (Navigate Backward) and Ctrl+Shift+- (Navigate Forward)

How drop markers are dropped is another topic for another blog entry. 

Happy Editing!

Yeah, I found this out within the last months when trying to get away from the mouse. =) Nice feature.

I knew about this already, but only because a colleague showed me yesterday! He needn't have bothered :)
