C-x r b b - easy to type for users accustomed to `C-x r b', just repeat the last key twice; C-x r b j - good mnemonics ("bookmark jump") C-x r b l - bookmark-bmenu-list C-x r b s - bookmark-set Another variant is to use a prefix `C-x B' with the uppercase `B', but I don't understand why there are no other C-x prefix key sequences with uppercase letters. Examples: C-x B j - bookmark-jump C-x B l - bookmark-bmenu-list C-x B s - bookmark-set -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
