Navigation Logic Should Include Posts Opened For Viewing
Currently the navigation history seems to be based on the order documents were edited in. I believe it would be more useful to base it on the navigation history.
One of my use cases is to implement GTD in nvUltra. I have next actions lists, someday/maybe lists and trigger lists. To do a weekly (or daily) review I have to navigate between the different lists. Currently I can start off with the someday list, descend into a sub-list for e.g. "read someday" but using the history navigation I can only navigate back to the last edited document.
I would argue the order of last modified documents is sufficiently prominent by the normal notes list.
Alternatively a similar approach as in JetBrains IDEs could be adopted. They have navigation history based on access/browsing order and a separate shortcut to go to the previous last modified document. This is admittedly hard to discover and non-obvious, but IMHO sufficient for proficient users relying on fast navigation like that.

The problem with basing navigation history on which files were "viewed" instead of "opened" (a nebulous distinction in an app like this), is that scrolling through the notes list would rapidly fill your navigation history with every file you scrolled through.... Not sure that is what most users want.
