Description

In real vim, after install plugin vim-go and set shotcut for :GoDef to "gd", shotcut ":GoDefPop" to "Ctrl-t", when press "gd" in some function, you can jump to its definition, then you can just press "Ctrl-t" to jump back to the older location of your jumping start point. can VSCodeVim do the similar thing?

Inspect the existing definition-navigation and keybinding handling, and consider the work done when this sequence reliably returns to the prior location with tests covering it.
