Description David Strupl 2012-04-26 13:10:32 UTC 
There was a feedback from Eclipse users that Eclipse handles better the Alt-Left, Alt-Right (Go Back) actions.

The confusion might span from the fact that we have 2 actions in the editor toolbar (Last Edit, Go Back) and the user might not at first glance see which one is the one he wants to use.

The other problem with go back/forward might be whether the user expects going back just in the editor or whether it is possible to go back also by focusing other components.

The enh request is to check how Eclipse and IDEA handle the back action and potentially change our back action to match.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
