XCode 4 : No editing insertion point history??? What the...

Hello…

After countless hours of searching, I wasn't able to find a way to move forward and backward in my editing places in my code. It is as if the Xcode4 does not hold any insertion point history.

The current Forward/Backward scheme of XCode4 ( by using "Control" + "Command" + "Arrow", or three finger touchpad swipe, or the two little arrows on the left top corner of the code) is to move between file history.

It completely destroys my productivity, to the point I am seriously considering to switch back to Xcode3. If anyone knows how to do editing point history navigation in Xcode4 the way we did it in Xcode 3 I would be more than happy to listen to his suggestions.

No joy in 'Key Bindings/Navigate'...?

I have test it right now, and it works as what your said. But I think etresoft needs something else.

Please do following simple test: supposed you are in line 100 of one file, you use CMD + UP to jump to top of this file, how can you go back to line 100?

If line 100 has any particular significance, I would just scroll back down to it. For me, one line is the same as the next. It is the functions and methods that are important. I use the jump bar at the top of the editor to find those. Every time I navigate using the jump bar, I get a new entry in the history and I can navigate forward and backwards within it.

Set the mark before jumping to the top of the file and then swap point and mark.
