When you navigate between development objects, the navigation context is retained as long as you switch between components of the same global class, program, or function group.

The system starts the ABAP Editor and displays the method in display mode. If you then call another method M2 of the same class, it will also be opened in display mode. If you then switch to change mode and open a third method M3, its definition will also be displayed in change mode. The example is illustrated in the figure below:
