So Ctrl-o
works only with jumps and has a history, ''
gets you back to your last position regardless of how you ended up there (jumping, navigating, etc) but there's no history for it.
What I'm looking for is the best of those two worlds, something like Visual studio's NavigateBackward. Ctrl-o
is good but a lot of the times it takes me back to positions I wouldn't expect, jumping is not the only way I navigate...
- Is there a built-in command/way in vim that does this?
- if not, is there a plugin for it?
- if not, I have no problem writing a plugin myself, I know how to set/get the caret position, but I looked at the
autocmd-events
and couldn't find anything that fires when the caret changes position. How would I go about detecting the 'change' of the caret position?
Thanks.
