--- Comment #11 from [email protected] ---
I wouldn't enable the same functionality on the forward operation because I
believe:
1. It could confuse people if back and forward functions can go to same place.
2. Intuitively, I think the current cursor position is in the past, hence go
back.

However, I see the problem highlighted in Jim's now obsolete comment. People
could get accustomed to using the back button just to return to the active
cursor position, but the back button can be disabled if "back to" stack is
empty. In this situation, the user can't use this function to return the view
to the active cursor position. This situation is only possible in the very
beginning of the editing session, but in a continuing operation there is always
something in the go back stack.

To resolve this issue, would it be possible to newer to disable the back to
button? If cursor is visible and back to stack is empty, then just do nothing
or echo a warning sound.
