Keyboard shortcut to move cursor to last edit posi

Question

In Visual Studio, is there a keyboard shortcut to navigate (move cursor) to the last edited position (like PyCharm's Ctrl+Shift+Backspace)?

The CTRL + - shourtcut moves to the last position (not the last edited position), which is less useful for me.

Answer 1

In my VS I can use CTRL + -. I am not sure if this Works in all Versions and With different keyboard layout.

Answer 2

I always use Ctrl+Shift+Backspace.

Answer 3

Many of the answers mention VisualStudio 2017 or a plugin to VisualStudio 2015.

I found the following shortcuts in VisualStudio 2015.

View.NavigateBackward
View.ForwardBackward

Map nicely to pycharm's

Last Edit Location
Next Edit Location

Answer 5

Additionally you can use Ctrl + Shift + - (View.NavigateForward) shortcut.

Answer 6

There is a free extension for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 that includes it : Hot Commands

Edit.GoToLastEditLocation

Takes the caret back to the last place an edit occurred during that session.

The default Keyboard shortcut is : Ctrl + Shift + Backspace

This can be changed any time under Tools - Options - Environment - Keyboard - Edit.GoToLastEditLocation

Edit: Extension now also support VS2019
