No registers involved.I occasionally do something stupid like hit the wrong keystroke, usually C-e, which puts me at the end of the line. I was somewhat sure there was an equally simple keystroked to return me to where I once was where. NO!? If not, I'm bummed. I thought emacs was "powerful". Seems a simple function. And by GOD, can't let vi outdo on this!
buffer-undo-list can record the position before the inadvertant command so that C-x u would move you back, but the movement commands don't take advantage of that feature. C-h v buffer-undo-list: ... An entry of the form POSITION indicates that point was at the buffer location given by the integer. Undoing an entry of this form places point at POSITION. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
