When I Cmd + click on the line of execution of a function (f()), it takes me to where the function was defined (f(){}). It'd be great to have a 'back' button to go back to wherever I was before, now that I've finished looking at the function. Does anyone know of such a feature or a feature that'd help?
P.S. I'm on Mac
It's not a button, but there's a keyboard shortcut: press alt + left arrow, and you'll be taken to the place where you were before. (Browsers and Windows Explorer have this shortcut too - alt + left arrow usually takes you to the previous page, but they also have back buttons)
You're far from alone in missing the "go back" button (that I missed from Visual Studio). Here is one of multiple available VS Code plugins which provides just what you're missing:

You can find other plugins with search for "back button".
You can use workbench.action.navigateBack my keyboard shortcut defaulted to Ctrl+Alt+- for Back and Ctrl+Shift+- for forward
As of v1.68 I think, if you enable the Command Center in vscode with this setting:
Window: Experimental Command Center
and just
Window: Command Center
(note no "Experimental") in Insiders v1.69 and presumably Stable v1.69 you will get a left and right arrow in the title bar which are bound to the Go Back and Go Forward commands Alt+Left and Alt+Right
