Support navigation buttons (back and forward)

[lorean1024]

It would be great to have the ability to go back to the previously displayed note. It would be extremely helpful while navigating links to different notes, wiki-style.

Hi @lorean1024 , how about this one? https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/693

[lorean1024]

Hi! I'm not sure, but I can only see linking functionality there, without the ability to go back. I'm thinking about the case when we have different notes linking to one note and after clicking the link we want to go back to the note that got us there - I think it's currently impossible.

Hi, I also think this is necessary. Jumping between notes may distract me from previous notes. A button to get back to history notes will be helpful.

I am working on this one, back Button feature, I am creating a back and forward button to provide navigation to previous notes we have opened, for Markdown-notes only. Its working basically, but any details on this feature ... please comment

[jyhong836]

About the feature, I found that the navigation will ignore the folders. For example, when I click a link from one note to the other, the presented note changes but the folder doesn't. When you are working on this, can you make the folder change consistently?

Besides, could you make the note history stored somewhere? Just like the Safari at Mac. When you long press the new-tab button (a plus button), you can view the recently closed tabs. I love that function.

Thank you for your reply @jyhong836...Currently, I was able to store the history, will try to change the folder consistently too though haven't checked...... and also will try to provide right-click to the button to show the history of notes for each back and forward.. Current Progress

[jyhong836]

Sound great! Thank you for your work.

[jyhong836]

@SubtleParesh Could you sustain the history of scroll position. Now, when I jump between notes, the pages will automatically change to the beginning. For me, I'd like to continue from the place where I stopped.

I would love this feature in Boostnote. Using the backwards and forwards button that many mice have nowadays would allow for much faster navigating.
