Endnote Navigation

[tcorbet]

I am looking for the capability to navigate bi-directionally between endnote references in the body of a document and the corresponding text of the end note at the end of the document. If I search the forums, I do find one item in 2012 in which the OP seemed to want the same capability, but when a responder pointed out the use of the "ALT+Left Arrow" key, the OP went away happy. I either am failing to make the proper gestures, or am just not very happy.

Can someone confirm that it is truly possible to:

a. place the cursor on an endnote reference [in my test cases, since I author the documents with LibreOffice and use their export to PDF, said reference is in the form of a digit shown in superscript position], and perform some gesture that will cause the display to relocate to show the text of that endnote;
b. place the cursor somewhere inside an endnote [or directly on the reference number is that is the required position] and perform some gesture that will cause the display to relocate back to the point in the body of the document from which a reference was made to that endnote.

As far as I can determine the "ALT+Left Arrow" gesture is an implementation of something akin to "Back" when using a browser with HTML documents. While I am not saying that such a stack-backup features is not useful, I am saying that it does not implement the bi-directional functionality that I need. If there is some Tracker product that does provide that capability, I would be interested in the recommendation.

Can you please send us any document with sample end notes so we can review and advise?

a. place the cursor on an endnote reference [in my test cases, since I author the documents with LibreOffice and use their export to PDF, said reference is in the form of a digit shown in superscript position], and perform some gesture that will cause the display to relocate to show the text of that endnote;

If there is a link to the end-note text over the reference, you have to make a mouse click to jump to the end note text. But, if there is no link, the application does not know that it is an end note reference, position of the end note etc., so it will not work.
It is why I'm asking for an original document - to check if there are links.

b. place the cursor somewhere inside an endnote [or directly on the reference number is that is the required position] and perform some gesture that will cause the display to relocate back to the point in the body of the document from which a reference was made to that endnote.

As far as I can determine the "ALT+Left Arrow" gesture is an implementation of something akin to "Back" when using a browser with HTML documents.

When you navigate through a document, the Editor keeps a history of positions in the document, and the key combinations "Alt+LeftArrow", "Alt+RightArrow" navigates through that history accordingly.
