[Geany-Devel] Improving the navqueue

Hi,

Geany's navigation history (navqueue) would be more useful to me if I
could add positions into it manually.

For example, I want to peek into another location in the code (page up
/ page down) and then return. The navqueue fits this case much better
than bookmarks.

A plugin can emulate this by doing navqueue_goto_line() to the current
line, but this doesn't work very well: it adds two positions (unless
the cursor happens to be on the beginning of the line) and also
scrolls the view.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a keybinding for this in
Geany core? I have a patch in the works [1].
