in pycharm, how to go back to last location

Question

i've tried these answers, but nothing happened:

Keyboard shortcut for Jump to Previous View Location (Navigate back/forward) in IntelliJ Idea

for example:

1. i'm navigating to a function body,
2. put the cursor on a function call,
3. click F12 ("go to definition")
4. from the new location (the function's body), how do I return to the function call?

i've tried these, but they didn't do anything:

• ctrl-shift-left
• ctrl-shift-F2 <-- this is my default mapping
• alt-shift-left
• ctrl-shift-backspace
• don't try that on linux: ctrl-alt-backspace

or maybe F12 ("go to def") isn't "strong enough" to trigger a location-change event??

Answer 1

In mac OS X (atleast in El Capitan) it is cmd + [ to go back to the previous location.

Answer 2

Search for Back in the Settings ‒> Keymap, click on it and change it for what you want ‒ should help on all systems.

I use Ubuntu so the default was Ctrl + Alt + Left, but this combination is already in use by the system.

Answer 3

In Ubuntu Ctrl+Altr+Left is overridden in for switching to left workspace. I don't use workspaces at all so I cancelled that shortcut in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Navigation -> Switch to workspace left.
