Yeah, I can see the toolbar now. I tried to search about back button and never knew it could be in toolbar. Thanks. – timedout Jul 03 '14 at 08:24

You could use Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (which is more convenient from my point of view) or clicking arrows as suggested.

Ubuntu 16.04 defines Ctrl + Alt + Left as a workspace switch shortcut
Then it does nothing on Pycharm.
So you have to either disable the Ubuntu shortcut with:
- dash
- keyboard
- shortcuts
- navigation
or redefine the PyCharm shortcuts to something else.
Linux distro desktop devs: please make all desktop system wide shortcuts contain the Super key.

1@eplaut hmmm, to me it seems to just go to the tab at the left, not to the previous code location (specially different since Ctrl + click to jump to definition reuses existing tabs). – Ciro Santilli新疆棉花TRUMP BAN BAD Nov 01 '17 at 10:19

1I simply change PyCharm keyboard shortcuts for `Back` and `Forward` to `Alt+` iso of changing Ubuntu wokspace switcher shortcuts. Need to restart PyCharm after assigning new shortcuts. – sagarr Jan 02 '19 at 07:09

@sagarr yes, this is also a valid solution, added to the answer. – Ciro Santilli新疆棉花TRUMP BAN BAD Jan 02 '19 at 09:02
