Simple: Jump back to last note, Advanced: Browsing history

[ashcroft]

It often happens that I want to add text to a different note and then jump back to the note I was working with before. Searching that last note through a string takes much longer and needs more cognitive ressources than simply hitting a keybinding for "go back!" (just like in any web-browser...).

How would NV determine what the "last" note was? Would that be the last note edited? The last note where the editor had focus? The last note selected? How would it differentiate between selecting a series of notes using Command-J/K, the left/right keys, or dragging across them with the mouse?

Oh, and by the way: I would totally pay for this! Even without a "go back" command, NV has already become so useful to me that I would be glad to remunerate the developer with a fee!

[ashcroft]

Thanks for your quick reply! Yeah, I meant the last note edited. Cmd-] and Cmd-[ could navigate in a history different from Cmd-J/K...

Too add to this, in presence of links between notes, there should be an option to go back after following a link to a different note.

The back command could go back to the note that contains the clicked link.
It could be disabled immediately after the followed note loses focus.

Also, there could be a succession of links and it would be nice if the back command could go up the link chain successively to the first note in which a link was clicked.

What's up with this?
