I'm constantly confused by the list of bookmarks that appears over the editor when Ctrl+Shift+> or Ctrl+Shift+< is pressed. Now I realized it is because the shortcuts seem to be mapped in reverse order. I'd expect the > shortcuts moves down and < moves up in the list. Similarly when pressing Ctrl+Tab I'm going down in the list of documents, I'd expect the same from Ctrl+Shift+>. If you think that due to the "last used" ordering the logic is that Ctrl+Shift+< should bring me to the previously visited bookmark, then please check if the actual cursor position is not on that bookmark line. If I press Ctrl+Shift+<, I get the list with the _current_ bookmark selected. If I'm on that line already I don't get anywhere else by pressing Ctrl+Shift+<. It is typically the case if need to jump over a few bookmarks to find the right one. Pressing (and releasing) Ctrl+Shift+< keeps me where I am, that's useless. And the fact that single press of Ctrl+Shift+> just opens the Bookmarks window is mega-useless. The simple usability of the old behavior is completely ruined. So I'm forced to keep Ctrl+Shift pressed and go according to the displayed list - which confuses me by that the < and > shortcuts move in reverse directions. So I'd suggest 2 things: 1) Single press/release of Ctrl+Shift+> and Ctrl+Shift+< should always bring me to another place (previous/next bookmark). Don't stay on the same place, don't jump to Bookmarks window. 2) The list of bookmarks (shown when holding Ctrl+Shift) should be presented in such a way that the selection goes down on > and up on <.
