I don't know about TextMaker, but for the other two, it typically makes no
sense, since, since there's no linearly-scrolled document to go back and forth
in (AFAICT).

Can you explain what you mean? Why would the scroll behavior be erratic? It's
like when you click a cross-ref link.

Ah, actually, sometimes you would make the change - but sometimes you would
decide not to.

And here's the best thing, which is a completely bonus feature: You can use
"undo" to get back to where you last edited if you don't remember where it is
:-)

You don't return to the starting place - which is the same as the behavior we
have now. Undo means undo. But - you first undo your last move away from the
change, then decide if you want to undo the change as well.
