Hello-

Thanks for your excellent IDE, Code::blocks.There are lot of features in this IDE which make a programmer's life much easier. I have one feature request which I would like to ask.

When we are browsing code and if a project has multiple source /header files, we always switch between different sections scattered among different files across a project.

It would be great if there are forward and backward buttons on the IDE so that the user /developer can switch from one context to another. Perhaps your IDE can record location of the last edit or the area where the user has done some modification and if he switches to some other file and does something else, he can use the <back> button to switch to the previous context. Similarly , a <forward> button can be implemented as well.

You might want to consider implementing this feature in your next release.

Thanks again,
AM

It's already implemented and called "bookmarks". You can set bookmarks where you want and then iterate through them using short cuts. Consult the C::B documentation for details:

More precisely:

Compiler logging: Settings->Compiler & Debugger->tab "Other"->Compiler logging="Full command line"
