Hmm, that is what I was calling "browse to" above, and I use it all
the time--but now that I check, "browse to" is listed as Ctrl-Return.
Then what is the real "browse to", since if I use Ctrl-Return it
doesn't seem to do anything?

Whatever Ctrl-click is called, it is very handy.  But it is necessary
to use "Back" to go back to where you just were, but oftentimes I will
be poking around in other functions or places in the code and will
introduce new places where "back" will bring me to...and I'll find
myself forgetting the point of where I was or what the goal was.
Having some kind of roster of the top few functions that are currently
pertinent to solving the bug/feature concern that I am working on at
the time might be helpful (lately I've been just writing them or their
line # on a piece of paper).

I don't know if this is something that IDEs typically do or if it
would be useful or not, just throwing it out.
