Description

I am not sure if I can express this clearly in English.

Sometimes, I need to preview and navigate contents in the preview pane, but when I want to edit, it's very hard to find the corresponding position at the editor pane. And it's even harder when I try to find the corresponding position at the editor pane (when activating and moving the cursor at the editor pane), my target text in the preview pane moved offscreen.

So is there an easy way to find the corresponding position at the editor pane from the preview pane?

Thanks a lot.
