PyCharm: how to go back after navigating to some other part of the file?

Question

How do I go back after navigating to some other part of the py file? For example, I use F12 to go to function definition, but I don't see a way to go back? I am using Alt + < and Alt + > in Eclipse and Visual Studio.

Ctrl + Alt + left should do the job. Ctrl + Alt + right will navigate forward

Use Alt+Up/Alt+Down keyboard shortcuts. More info here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/help/navigating-between-methods-and-tags.html

This navigates between methods, not my previous positions. – Danijel Feb 09 '15 at 13:52
I am sorry. I mis-understood the question. – Dhruv Ramani Feb 09 '15 at 13:54
