say for example you jump from dirA with 'x to dirB, then move around a bit in sub/super-directories of dirB.
now '' simply jumps back to the last visited directory, which is not very useful if that directory is simply a sub/super-directory of the current directory.
in ranger '' instead jumps back to the location of the last jump, which in this example would be dirB.

this seems a bit more useful. is it possible to imitate this behaviour?

this would also arguably be closer to the behaviour in vim - from the help-page of '': "To the position before the latest jump, or where the last "m'" or "m`" command was given."

thanks!

There is no notion of jumps at the moment or rather every location change is considered to be a jump. The closest thing is the use of Ctrl-O and Ctrl-I multiple times.

Related GitHub issue, which is actually about making '' more fine grained.
