Go to Last Visited or Go Back

  Move the caret to the last visited bookmark. If the caret is already located on the last visited bookmark, move the caret back to its initial position. This menu item allows to move back and forth from the place where a user is typing some text to the last visited bookmark.

  What is the last visited bookmark?

  - The last visited bookmark is the bookmark last selected using the menu items described below.

  - A newly added bookmark is automatically made the last visited bookmark.

  Keyboard shortcut: Esc j (J like Jump).

Go to Preceding

  Move the caret to the bookmark whose position in the document is before the caret. That makes this bookmark the last visited one (see Go to Last Visited or Go Back).

Go to Following

  Move the caret to the bookmark whose position in the document is after the caret. That makes this bookmark the last visited one (see Go to Last Visited or Go Back).

Below the above menu items, a menu item is added for the last nine bookmark which have been added to the document being edited. Selecting a menu item moves to caret to the corresponding bookmark and thus, makes it the last visited bookmark (see Go to Last Visited or Go Back).
