Visual Studio backwards step navigation

Is there a way to navigate backwards when you use a command that causes the cursor to jump to a different section of the same document, or switch documents all together?

An example: Hitting F12 causes cursor to jump to selection definition, the key combination I am looking for would return to the specific reference of the definition.

Please, pay attention to View.PopBrowseContext command. It always returns you to the very place where you have pressed F12. So it is opposite to Jump to definition. It doesn't take in account any movements or edits you did after you have pressed F12. It just brings you back.

It's pity that in VS2015 they decided to get rid of this command.

It depends on your keyboard scheme, but on mine CTRL+- brings me back to the previous edit point.

To find the current key assigned to this functionality go to the menu Tools - Options Then search Environment - Keyboard and look for View.NavigateBackward command
