They are. In FDT, with the caret on a method/property/reference, F3 takes you to the definition. F4 in a reference takes you straight to the class. The ctrl+cursor thing also works, but in all honesty I seldom use it. Back to the last edited location is ctrl+q.

Here's a link to the Adobe page that describes it: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/UsingFlashBuilder/WS6f97d7caa66ef6eb1e63e3d11b6c4d0d21-7fcd.html. Changing the subject slightly, I griped about the new FB4 help (and I still don't like it). Adobe have taken a step in the right direction, though--they have developers moderating the comments on some of their help pages. I'm not an Adobe employee or contractor, but I am a moderator for one of their online help topics (not Flash or Flex, but I would hope they also have developers moderating those). I'm perhaps a bit more likely to let a snarky comment live than and Adobe employee. I can also answer questions when appropriate--Adobe people are good people, but their moderators aren't always the ones using the product every day.
