The Source Editor maintains a jump list in which each entry represents a point in a file where you have added or deleted text, or a point that you navigated to with the find function or the "goto" navigation shortcuts. You can use keyboard shortcuts to jump to points of interest in a file where you have done previous work.
This is useful, for example, if you use Goto Source (Alt-O) to check how a method is implemented. After you read the method, you can quickly return to where you were working (the previous entry in your jump list) by typing Alt-K.
The following table shows the keyboard shortcuts to use the jump list:
Shortcut | Action |
---|---|
Alt-K | Moves to the previous entry in the jump list |
Alt-L | Moves to the next entry in the jump list after you've used Alt-K to go back through your jump list. This is similar to using the Forward button on a browser; it is only useful after you've gone Back. |
Alt-Shift-K | Moves to the previous jump list entry that is not in the current file |
Alt-Shift-L | Moves to the next jump list entry that is not in the current file |
