Cursor had the “Back” and “Forward” button similar to web browsers and VSCode to navigation back and forth through code files you CTRL clicked on. This was especially useful on smaller screens and laptops. I am not sure why this was removed, please bring it back.

Looks like there’s a solution here to bring it back, it’s just no longer the default to display it: Back - Forward navigation history are not available anymore

Please bring back the "Back" navigation button
