The full buffer= contains the whole manual. If you try to go to a marker (buffer position)= that's outside the current restriction (node) then you get that error. For navigating among places you set in Info (same manual or not), you can d= o either of these things: 1. Bookmark the places you want to come back to. 2. Use `L' to get a menu/index/TOC of your visited nodes. Bookmarks are generally what you want, I expect. ___ If you use Bookmark+ you can use `bmkp-info-auto-bookmark-mode' to turn on/= off _automatic_ Info bookmarking. That creates a bookmark for each node yo= u visit, with the node name as the bookmark name. An option makes the node optionally only update, not create, such bookmarks= . You can toggle the option between `create-or-replace' and `update-only' = with command `bmkp-toggle-info-auto-type'. (When you visit a bookmark it i= s updated, which increases the visit count and the last visited time.) https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#AutomaticInfoBookmarking (If you use Bookmark+ then bookmarks can also be temporary. Even without B= ookmark+ you can just delete or not save bookmarks you create, if you don't= want to persist them.)
