My C++ project uses JSON files for configuration, after editing a C++ file and then editing a JSON file, then pressing navigate backwards I am taken back to my C++ files as expected, pressing navigate forward should then take me back to my JSON file but does nothing.
I have other custom file types such as XGS and it works perfectly, but not with JSON files. Is this a known bug, an option I am missing somewhere, or just plain doesn't work with JSON files? |

How are you navigating back and forward? Both VA and the IDE offer this feature, and they work slightly differently.
By default, VA navigate back and forward is bound to the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Left Arrow and Alt+Right Arrow
while the IDE back and forward is bound to the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+- and Ctrl+Shift+-
Also, which IDE and version of VA are you using? |

If I use the built-in VS back and forward button it works fine, if I use the VA back and forward buttons (which I have added to the VA toolbar) the problem arises.
I am using VS 2017 Professional and VA_X.dll file version 10.9.2248.0 built 2017.12.16

Thank you for the details, I am seeing exactly the same problem. I have no idea why, there doesn't seem to be any reason the .JSON file is being excluded. I have put in a bug report for this:
case=115059
For now the work around is to use the IDE navigate forward and back instead. |

| Great, thanks, I look forward to the bug fix as I prefer using the VA navigate buttons as they work better than the built-in ones for me. |

| The other thought here is to use IDE bookmarks, they do work in JSON files. I would have suggested trying VA Hashtags, but the default standard for JSON does not support comments, so there is no where to search for them. |
