Sourcenav vs. History Part

[Harald Fernengel]

Hi,

after looking at VS.net I created the sourcenav part which allows navigating 
to the last changed places in the source code (like the forward/back buttons 
in konqueror). At the same time mhk wrote the history part which allows 
navigation through the last opened files.

The basic difference is: sourcenav allows navigation inside files (but only 
text files) and the history part only switches between opened documents (also 
documentation) but doesn't jump to places inside a file.

Both parts have advantages/disadvantages. Imagine you are debugging and 
changing a lot of stuff, so you just press "back" to go back through all 
changes. Imagine you are reading documentation and you want to go back and 
forth between the doc and the source - you'll need the history part.

It is quite difficult to merge the two parts since both make sense in certain 
situations. I talked with mhk on IRC and we thought about history buttons 
that switch between the last opened files and a history sidebar that shows 
the lines that were recently changed so you can quickly navigate to the 
places you just worked on.

Any comments / ideas how to manage the parts and what could be improved are 
highly welcome.

Best regards,
Harry
