The current keybindings are C-x r b C-x r m Even after years of use, I get confused on what key to press - "b" or "m". The "cognitive dissonance" is probably due to the word bookmark being both a noun and a verb. If I treat "bookmark" as a noun, m => "mark a bookmark" seems satisfactory. b => "bookmark a bookmark" (Read as a "noun a noun") seems a bit wanting. If I treat "bookmark" as a verb, then C-x r b should create a bookmark. (It is not so). m => "mark a bookmark" (read as a "verb a verb") seems a bit strange. Here is a binding I have in .emacs. (global-set-key "^Xrv" (quote bookmark-jump)) (global-set-key "^Xr." (quote bookmark-set)) The memory aid, I use is this: "." stands for "this". As in "find this tag", "bookmark this location" etc. "v" stands for "visit". So C-x r . creates bookmark while C-x r v visits a bookmark.
