NetBeans - shortcut for returning to previous position after invoking 'Go to Declaration'

In Netbeans I want to be able too return back to my previous position after selecting Go to Declaration (ctrl + click on variable). Similar to the option in Microsoft Visual Studio .Net IDE when I click (ctrl + -) - it will return to the previous position I was in.

For El Capitan one needs to go to the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and under "Mission Control" disable the ctrl-arrow sequences and then it works

Tested for Netbeans 8.2 on MAC, it is ctrl+B.

For El Capitan I was not able to figure this out.

So instead I applied my own keybinding.

Go to Netbeans -> preferences -> keymap

Search for "back" and add your own keybinding.

Cheers :)

Another useful shortcut is ctrl-q which takes you to the last edit point.

I think you are looking for Alt-K

In the menu this is Navigate --> Back
