Use of Edit.SelectToLastGoBack in Visual Studio

visual-studio, visual-studio-2005

Solution

Selects to the last juimp point ...

Try using the navigation bar to jump to another method in class. Then press Ctrl + "="

It will select from the start of method you jumped to all the way back to where you jumped from.

I have yet to find a use for it though TBH,

Problem

There is a command in Visual Studio 2005 called Edit.SelectToLastGoBack (bound to Ctrl + =). I presume it is supposed to select all the text between the current cursor position and the last 'Go Back' point, but I can't work out the algorithm it's using for deciding what that point is. Does anyone know how to use this potentially very useful command?
