In Xcode 3, I could go back to previous editing point within a document by pressing Command+Control+[Left|Right]. (I'm confusing it was Control or Option... However) In Xcode 4, the key combination is assigned to other feature. Code folding..? What did this key change into?
Xcode tracks your entire movement history as soon as you open or create a project. Any file you go to, any symbol you look up - it all is appended to the IDE's navigation stack. Use ⌃ + ⌘ + ← and ⌃ + ⌘ + → to go back and forth between the source code locations you visited.
Jump to Line: ⌘ + L (Command + L) This command will jump to a specific line in the current file.
The shortcut in XCode 4 for "Go forward/backward" is "Control" + "Command" + "Arrow"
This is super annoying for me. When I tried to change the shortcut in the Shortcut Editor back to the Xcode 3 way, Xcode crashes. Fun.
Another option for switching to Previous/Next editing position (Go Back/Go Forward) is using two finger swipe (left for Go Back, right for Go Forward). I realize that this is not a keyboard shortcut but if you are using a Trackpad, it is much faster than trying to click on the buttons.
Note: The pointer does need to be in the editor for swiping to work.
