Hi, Mike,
Hitting the < button instructs the Lexicon to show the method it was
showing just before it switched to the method that it is currently
showing.
Given this definition, hitting < twice in succession will take you
from method A to method B and then back to method A -- precisely the
phenomenon you cite.
But I agree that it's not unreasonable to expect that this button
might behave more like a "Previous" button in a web browser, so that
successive pressings of < would result in a reverse traversal of the
sequence of methods that had been viewed.
Perhaps someone will take an interest in pursuing such a feature...
Cheers,
-- Scott
