Description Hindmost 2022-07-02 13:09:41 UTC 
I’m not a great typist and too frequently fumble finger and find myself some weird place in my document with no way to get back without more or less searching through the whole thing.
Please consider a hot key that takes the view and cursor back one position.

Use the Navigation toolbar for this purpose (View > Toolbars > Navigation) or assign the commands .uno:NavigateForward / .uno:NavigateBack to your preferred shortcuts.

We decided to keep the commands for user-customization reassess the situation if more users request a default situation

Bugzilla:  Thanks!  Works For Me too now that the secret mystic (yes, tongue in cheek) name for the function has been revealed.

I would like to suggest that the bug be morphed into a documentation bug.  The reason I couldn’t find this feature is because it is described only as ‘Back’.  Back what?  (with tongue still in cheek). Back page?  Back paragraph?  Backwards?  Back garden?  Back to the future?    May I suggest that the navigation feature be given a more descriptive name?  Perhaps ‘Return Cursor to Previous Position’.  It’s kind of wordy but some of the other features have multi-word descriptions and searching the documentation might be more likely to find it.  I suggest that the description and help documentation should at least contain the words ‘Return’ and ‘Previous’.

Again, Thank You for solving my problem.
