You just blew my mind! This is something that always bothers me when using go-to-definition, but I never thought there'd be such a simple solution.

In JDT you can use ALT-Left/Right or the arrow symbols in the toolbar.

the current SEATD alpha plugin for Kate has such a navigation history ;)

The only IDE I know of that has this feature is NetBeans.

OK, _YOU_ just blew my mind! I learn something new about JDT every day! And it turns out Descent has this feature, too :-).

I think it's actually a part of Eclipse, not just JDT. I can navigate across different editors that way (not just java source files).

I just want to download the IDE, and install it with a few button clicks or a single console command. It should be able to do most of its features without the need to configure compiler paths, or what not. That's what I think is missing in the current IDE's for D.

Poseidon is going that way. (If all goes well)
I also wish more programs could update themselves with the latest build.
And maybe update the compiler as well.

There should be a project on dsource which would make handling stuff like that easier :)

Visual Studio has it too.  Same Alt-left/Alt-right key binding as JDT.

seeing as dmd is free an small on win/Linux having an app that updates it's self using a source download/compile would not be to nasty even for non-programmer users.
