Hello,

The protocol browser has such a back button for methods.

But it is kind of broken because once you go back, the method from which
you came also counts as "last visited", so the button then degenerates into
a "back and forth" button.

I use "back" in the system browser occasionally (after somebody mentioned
its existence on the list a few years ago), but I feel confident that I
could relearn to using "find" for that instead.

Kind regards,
Jakob
