Version: (using KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs This is a request for the feature present in "joe". It allows you easy navigation through places in text which you actually use. To see how it works open a text file with "joe" (or create a new), navigate through the file, edit it at some places and then use ^K- and ^K= to position cursor to places where you actually did something (or just took a longer pause). As a longtime user of "joe", I find lack of this feature in "kate" as an inconvenience. If the feature exists and I couldn't find it, I apologize in advance.
In kate you can use bookmarks for mark particular lines. The default shortucts are: CTRL+B : add/remove bookmark on the current line ALT+PgUP/ALT+PgDown : go to the prev/next bookmarked line
Re-Opening, the author didn't ask for manual bookmarking, but a history. This is different as for bookmarks you need to know in advance wether you want to go back to a place or not, while with history you don't.
This would be a nice little concept for a plugin ;)
To me this seems a lot like the "Go Back/Forward" that exists in many IDEs. It lets you navigate in all your opened files like a browser history. Each time a jump of location is made (search result, ctags navigation, write some text, open a file, ...) the old location is stored in a history that could be browsed back/forward. Example of this could be found in QtCreator (Alt-Left/Right) but exists in other IDEs as well.
This feature exists in kate (16.12.2) with the actions "Go to previous editing line" and "Go to next editing line".
