Re: Back and Forward

There are two concepts of moving backward/forward in time in NetBeans.

The first lets you to undo/redo your CODE history and that is what you 
mentioned. This is in most IDEs, but also in text editors and most other 
software assigned to Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + Y. Browsers miss this feature, AFAIK.

The second allows you to follow your NAVIGATION history, i.e. your 
movement in the code. These actions are called back/forward and allow 
you to track back "Go To" actions, etc. This should be (in new keymap 
profile - check daily builds) assigned to the shortcut you mentioned: 
Alt + Left/Right arrow. This history is IMO more similar to browser history.
