Subject: bug#74438: 29.1; global-mark-ring does not work as described
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 11:09:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37667f67-9c28-4543-a28a-c5d42878dbce@gmail.com> (raw)

Using the mark ring for programming purposes is generally seen as a faux
pas, see the docstrings for push-mark and set-mark, which explicitly
warn against this.
If you still insist, then nothing is really stopping you from short
circuiting this behavior by say doing a forward-char, set-mark,
backward-char, set-mark again.
But I also don't understand why do you need buffer 1 mark to be at the
front of the ring, because it's gonna reliably be as the second element
in it anyway.
