If I'm on a particular line in my file, and I do something like "Quick
Outline" (bound to Ctrl-o for me), enter a function name and press Return.
This will jump to the method that I specified. Now, once I'm there,
what's the easiest way to return to exactly where I was before? Using
"Quick Outline" is just an example. It really refers to any operation
except for simple pageup/pagedown or scrolling, which "jumps" to a
different line in the editor.
