I use Geany, and I'm no power user, I don't know many key 
bindings. My way to deal with this is dead stupid: I leave the 
character cursor where I am and start scrolling. When I want to 
go back, lArrow rArrow lArrow rArrow...

The screen jumps back to the cursor. Then I scan the screen to 
see the cursor. It is much easier to spot when I keep it moving 
with the arrows.
