Hi everybody,
I want to use the C::B IDE to browse/study source code. A feature that I need is to be able to jump back to the previous location after jump to some definition/declaration in the same or other file. I mean something similar to ctrl-t keyboard shortcut in VIM/ctags.
Is there something similar in C::B?
Best regards,
Vassil
You should have a look at BrowsTracker-Plugin (right mouse-click in editor ...).
Thank you for your answer!
I installed the BrowseTracker plugin, but I am not sure that this is what I am looking for. Is it possible to jump back without first setting "browse mark" ? BTW when I try to set browse mark using left click OR ctrl+left click a breakpoint is toggled and the placement of the browse mark is not on the desired source code line.
The browse marks also can't be used to jump between different files/tabs.
Best Regards,
Vassil

No, you must set a mark for the system to see where you want to browse back to.

Don't click in the margin. Click on the source iine.

That is correct. But you can jump back and forth with Alt-LeftArrow; and forward with Alt-RightArrow.
Could the shortcuts be somehow assigned to the actions of Browse Tracker plugin like Prev Mark and Next Mark?
Are there still no possibility in C::B to jump back without explicit mark setting ?
Actually for such kind of navigation in one source file only one can use Edit->Bookmarks...

Yes, assign a KeyBinder key to View->Jump->Jump Back.
Be sure to click on the page/line you want to jump back to before browsing anywhere else.
Pecan, thanks for your reply.
