I agree. I can see when it would be useful for switching between documents,
though actually just using the built-in command to switch between
windows/documents would put you at the previous insertion point.

Yes and No. Think of the users that use the GoBack to switch between edits
in two documents they are currently editing. They would be annoyed if
GoBack
only worked on the document in focus.
I guess that the solution would be to have two different commands,
shortcuts
and names: one a GoBack command for the current document and the other a
GoBack command for working across multiple documents.

It actually stores only three previous locations,
I guess that depends on whether you count or origin 0 or 1. The
current location is a locationm, is it not?
and I agree that they
should be confined to the current document. I have also found this
behavior
(jumping to another document) unexpected, illogical, and very annoying.
At least I'm not the only one who is annoyed ;-)
How hard would it be to write a macro to keep track of the last "n"
locations in each document?
I guess we would need to define what a "location" is. I wouldn't want
it to keep track of every backspace.
Alternatively, how hard would it be to write a macro that would (a)
save the current location in a stack of depth N or (b) go back to the
previous location in thay stack -- depending on a parameter?
