Emulate the tag stack in Vim mode #14206

Describe the feature

In Vim, hitting ctrl-] takes you to the function definition. This part already seems to be implemented in Zed.

Each subsequent ctrl-] takes you to the corresponding definition, and maintains a stack of where you've been. Hitting ctrl-t pops the most recent off the stack, and takes you back one step.

This is a very handy way of navigating through multiple function calls in a codebase. ctrl-t seems to be currently set to editor::Transpose - is there an action I can set it to that would replicate this behaviour?

See https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/tagsrch.html for documentation of the Vim behaviour.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Not yet. We could bind ctrl-t to pane::GoBack, but that's really the jump list not the tag stack.

This is the one missing feature that is keeping two of my coworkers from switching from vim to zed. Though I'm mostly happy with zed, a proper "tag stack" which we could pop out of (avoiding all the wandering associated with the existing "GoBack" feature) would be tremendously helpful for large code bases.

It may seem like a trivial feature but having the "skewered tagging" feature is what keeps me sane when deeply exploring code. As I dig deeper into source code it is common for me to wander around a bit when deciding where to dive deeper. When I want to return, I get terribly lost if I can't jump right back to the location where I tagged in. I am not aware of any editor or IDE that provides this valuable VIM feature. I really hope it is implemented with Zed.
