I’m introducing a section of a document with a little outline of what’s to come, sort of a table of contents of the following section.
With each item in the outline, I want to create a link to the corresponding text below, still in the same document.
So, let’s say I create a link to that portion of the same document.
I then click on the itty-bitty arrow to go to the designated portion.
Great. It works!
==> Now, having proven that the link works as it should, how can I go back to the place where I inserted the link? When I hit the back arrow (upper-left corner of interface), I’m taken to the top of the document instead of to my outline.
Thank you. Really nifty piece of software, by the way.
Good question… and at the moment I don’t think there is a direct way.
The Back / Forward navigation buttons work on focus state, but they don’t include scroll position. So if you use Go > Focus Heading… to navigate your outline, Go > Back will take you back to previous focus. Sometimes that navigation will align with link following, but that’s just by chance. At the moment there is no command for go back to source link.
I do agree it makes sense as a feature, just not implemented yet.
Thanks, Jesse. I find a lot of apps lack this. Ulysses if one of the few that lets me use the back arrow to go back to my previous location after I’ve activated a link.
Not a deal-breaker, though. I really like the speed of Bike! It never feels like I’m pedalling a bike uphill.
