The macro that is assigned to Edit.GotoDefinition (F12 by default) is
wonderful. SourceInsight has had this feature for a decade and I'm glad to
see that it is finally in DevStudio. However, I have not been able to find a
command that is equivalent to SI's "Go Back" command.

This sort of action would allow you to "dig" down into some code (via
Edit.GotoDefinition) and then "pop" yourself back up the way you came in to
return you to the original source of the first "goto definition" call.

Is this available or is it going to be in DevStudio 2007?

Thanks! The new IDE totally rocks!

William,

You're looking for View.PopBrowseContext - normally Ctrl+Shift+*

Cool - I never knew about that one.

Fwiw, it seems to be Ctrl+Shift+8, not Ctrl+Shift+* - ctrl+shift and
the number pad * does not work, not does Ctrl plus the number pad
star.
