Again, sorry that I was not clear enough. On the contrary, I'm very glad that finally, after more than a decade of bitching (while having the working code available!) this feature is finally available in the standard distribution. A lot of thanks for including it! So my "gaping hole" comment is due to my illiteracy. All that I said is that a) I have no incentive to check whether the Emacs 21.4 implementation is sane; and b) that my prior experience does not allow for a lot of hope in "a" (I remember there was *some* tricky stuff to code in imenu-go; but the only thing which immeditely jumps to mind is not related to return-back functionality; so, contrary to what I wrote, it is quite possible that there is no pitfall to avoid...). Hope this helps, Ilya P.S. Now, when End key finally does what users want, and there is a way to invert jump-to-tag, what about "the other stuff"? What immediately comes to mind is "redo" functionality. Is it available in 21.4?
