<ArneBab>That sounds really plausible: in intellij the most useful function while debugging is "go back to the previous place" -- regardless of whether that’s in the same file or not. It’s so useful that I adapted that in my Emacs and C-. now goes back to the previous editing place in the same file. And it’s why I still use dumb-jump, even though that’s mostly an xref frontend now, because it provides C-M-p: go back to where you jumped <ArneBab>⇒ modes: go-to-chg and dumb-jump are integral to my work. If you investigate based on files (not a structure display, but just opening the right place in the file) then they allow you to follow a thread of investigation -- and to backtrack once done.
