Did you know… How to use undo to jump the cursor back to the last insertion point? – #093

In a previous tip, we learned more than we ever wanted to know about go-back markers.  Insertion points are slightly different.  They are similar to the go-back markers, but it is anywhere you click the mouse or jump the cursor to.  The go-back marker 10 line rule doesn’t apply.

Move caret command in the undo list

To give it a try, just click somewhere, then click somewhere else (or do a find or a goto if you’re using the keyboard), then press undo.  You’ll move back to that previous location.

The option can be found at Tools – Options – Text Editor – General
