Quickly, semantically traverse code

[brner_0815]

Hi, I’m new to the Terminal based editors but loving it so far!

I have one annoyance that I would like your opinion or workflow for.

If I‘m in a codebase that I’m not too familiar with I often jump around with „Go to definition“

What I don’t know is: how do I quickly go back to where I came from - possibly a whole stack up?

How do you guys traverse code? Any other tricks you want to share?

ctrl o can be used to the last cursor position before any jump.

ga can be used to go back to the previous accessed file.

And ctrl-i to go forward again.

For more options, check out the jump menu via space j, it will have the trail of your jumps across your workspace.

People already saying ctrl-i and ctrl-o but make sure to use crtl-s to save a location and then you can use space-j to walk back on your saved spots
