This is a quick trick that I've started using the move my cursor to the last place, making a selection along the way. It's kind of weird to explain in text without a 100 images. Video rules!!!

Visual Studio Tip / Trick #043 English Transcription:

Today's visual studio video trick of the day is a video repost of Sarah Ford's original blog post 43, scheduled or originally written back September 20th of 2007. The trick is continuing with the Go Back markers, so if I click on line 5 and then click forward on line 18, The trick is [CTRL]+[=] as a keyboard combination which will select everything from your current cursor position back to the last go back marker. So remember we told you in the last trick number 42, if you go line to line there is no go back marker that is selected but you have to actually span more than 10 lines and than [CTRL]+[=] will select from your current cursor position back to the last go back marker which would be your last cursor position, if your last go back marker is in the same file that you are currently in.
