“Back” button in VS

A feature I’ve just recently discovered in Visual Studio is the concept of going “Back” like you would in a web browser. I use the context menu option “Go to definition” a lot, and after using it 5 times in a row as you navigate through a codebase, its easy to get lost in the code.  Luckily, they thought of this and added some Forward and Back functionality.  Its under the View menu, “Navigate Forward” and “Navigate Backward” (Ctrl+-, Ctrl+Shift+-, respectively).  Now I can jump around all I want and with a few keystrokes be back to where I started.
I thought of this feature awhile ago and was going to post about how they should implement this feature, not realizing that the feature already existed. I’m glad I eventually found the functionality, rather than declare Microsoft stupid for not implementing it and looking like an ass :)
