How to increase the size of navigation history in IntelliJ IDEA?


Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow or menu Navigate/Back navigates back in IntelliJ Idea. Only a limited number of times this shortcut can be used. Is there a configuration that can be used to increase the number of navigation history?


Solution

  • Using the latest IntelliJ, this is no longer hard-coded, and can be changed via the Registry.

    Use Ctrl-Alt-Shift-/ (Windows) to pull up the Registry, search for "editor.navigation.history.stack.size", and edit the value.
