Yutaka pointed me to the right direction. Thanks Yutaka!

Back and Forward commands are already included in EmEditor.
You can display these commands as the Toolbar, and also you can
use the default shortcut keys (ALT + LEFT and ALT + RIGHT).

I have searched the help and found this:

EmEditor Home – EmEditor Help – Command Reference – Edit category > Forward command
Description: Moves the cursor to the next position.
Default Keyboard Shortcut: ALT + RIGHT

EmEditor Home – EmEditor Help – Command Reference – Edit category > Back command
Description: Moves the cursor to the previous position.
Default Keyboard Shortcut: ALT + LEFT

I don’t had this shortcuts assigned?!
I think it is because I only update
with new files but still use my old settings?

Anyway, I have now assigned shortcut keys my own and tested this feature.

So long I have found:

1) I miss a gui to preview the last line numbers and line text.

2) Also I miss a visible indicator to see the cursor after moving.

3) Next I am not sure if I like that this feature works global
for all open documents instead of the current working doc only.

For my first two points I have created a script
(based on “build-in” snippet “Clipboard History” to help my self:

	//Moves the cursor to the previous position.

	//Script to collect the last ten positions and provide a menu to go there.

	//Based on Yutakas' snippet "Clipboard History"

	// NOTE: THIS DOES NOT WORK reliable yet, I have to investigate more.

	menu = CreatePopupMenu();

	i = 0;

	LastLinesArray = [];

	do {

		editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4597);//Moves cursor to prev pos.

		yPos = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical );

	    LastLinesArray[i] = yPos;

		str = document.GetLine( yPos );

		str = str.substr( 0, 40 );

	    menu.Add( yPos + ':t' + str, i + 100 );

	    i++;

	} while( i < 11 );

	

	result = menu.Track( 0 );

	if( result != 0 ) {

	    yPos = LastLinesArray[result -100];

	    document.selection.SetActivePoint( eePosLogical, 1, yPos );

	    document.selection.WordRight( 1 ); //visible indicator only

	}

	

But it doesn’t work 100\% correctly.

** for each call it provides other (elders?) results
** it jumps between open documents
** I don’t know how far back the history goes
and what the script will do if I call an empty entry.
** I jumps only backwards, forwards is not implemented yet in my script.

More research to do ;-)
