Navigation Extension for NOVA IDE

This an extension for the Nova IDE that enables hotkeys for navigating backward and forward through your code!

includes a Sidebar to see your navigation history

Details

This was designed to emulate the Navigate>Back/Forward functionality you'd typically see in other IDEs.

Menu Item	Binding
Navigate Backward	Shift-⌘--	"Shift+Command+Minus"
Navigate Forward	Shift-⌘-=	"Shift+Command+Equals"
Navigate Backward 1 File	Shift-option-⌘--	"Shift+Option+Command+Minus"
Navigate Forward 1 File	Shift-option-⌘-=	"Shift+Option+Command+Equals"

This extension is making some guesses whether you've opened a file, or moved your cursor in a 100ms loop. Some care has been taken to ensure this works alright in Split views, but as of now it's not well battle-tested.

Heavily inspired by https://github.com/eahanson/trail.novaextension ... a lot of additional work was done to ensure waypoints are created automatically. Enjoy!
