| I am always jumping all over the navigation history with e.g. Goto Implementation, Navigate Back, Navigate Forward etc etc. But is there a way to have separate navigation histories between windows? I am often simultaneously viewing multiple parts of a project and comparing them with each other, so it would be extremely helpful if there were a way to have independent navigation between windows. |

Unfortunately navigation history is not designed to work like this. Partly because moving from one spot to another often changes the current file, which changes the current "window".
One thought is to run two instances of the IDE, side by side, looking at the same solution. This is likely to be heavy on resources though, so not a great idea.
Perhaps a better approach would be VA Hashtags. You could mark history for window one with the tag #HistoryFoo and mark the history for window two with #HistoryBar. Then place the caret onto one of the tags, and use Alt-G to see a list of the other instances of the tag, so you can jump directly to them.
If you want to label the tags with more information you can even add cross reference information, by putting a string in front of the tag, so #HistoryFoo becomes foundHere:#HistoryFoo and triggeredHere:#HistoryFoo.
Cross references are listed in the Alt-Shift-G menu on the tag.
