In the JetBrains products, there's a very handy key binding that lets you visit all the spots you made an edit. Hit the key once to go to the last edit (file and location), and keep hitting the key to go back to earlier edits. It's typically when editing that you want to be editing the same places over and over again, and if one has many buffers open, many of which are not edited, this is even more useful.
Emacs has a mark ring, but that's not quite the same thing.
On a related note, is there functionality in magit, the emacs git add-on, to jump to edits?

Why Emacs? Emacs helps you be productive by providing an integrated environment for many different kinds of tasks: All of the basic editing commands (and there are lots of them) are available no matter what you're trying to do: write code, read a manual, use a shell, or compose an email.
The emacs editing mode is entered when you enable either the emacs or gmacs option. The only difference between these two modes is the way each handles the Ctrl-T edit command. To edit, move the cursor to the point needing correction and insert or delete characters or words, as needed.
You may also write the contents of the buffer to a different file with the command Control-X-Control-W. Emacs will prompt you for the name of the file you want to create. To create a new file, use Control-X-Control-F, just as if the file already existed.
There is GotoLastChange which allows you to travel along the chain of undo locations. You can assign it to a key:
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\" 'goto-last-change)
183
There is GotoChg which allows you to travel back and forth the chain of undo locations. Sample init code snippet:
(require 'goto-chg)
(global-set-key [(control ?.)] 'goto-last-change)
(global-set-key [(control ?,)] 'goto-last-change-reverse)
(Just like the other alternatives, GotoLastChange and session.el, it can not jump between buffers)
