Moving caret back/forward to previous/next editing position within a document in Xcode 4?

In Xcode 3, I could go back to previous editing point within a document by pressing Command+Control+[Left|Right]. (I'm confusing it was Control or Option... However) In Xcode 4, the key combination is assigned to other feature. Code folding..? What did this key change into?

Another option for switching to Previous/Next editing position (Go Back/Go Forward) is using two finger swipe (left for Go Back, right for Go Forward). I realize that this is not a keyboard shortcut but if you are using a Trackpad, it is much faster than trying to click on the buttons.

Note: The pointer does need to be in the editor for swiping to work.

The shortcut in XCode 4 for "Go forward/backward" is "Control" + "Command" + "Arrow"

This is super annoying for me. When I tried to change the shortcut in the Shortcut Editor back to the Xcode 3 way, Xcode crashes. Fun.

Not 100% sure what you mean by "previous editing point", but Command+Option+Left|Right is code folding. I use Option+Left|Right and Control+Left|Right to move back and forth within the code to get to particular points.
