These are already taken: `b' (for `bookmark'), `f' (for `favorite'), `s' (for `saved place'), and `d' (for `dog-ear'). > Personally, I would reserve C-x p for printing commands. > I suggest using C-x j as bookmark prefix. OK by me. I doubt we'll find a character that's mnemonic for what bookmarks are, anyway. > Then C-x j j would be bookmark jump (which is easy to type) > and C-x j m (mark) is nicely close to type easily as well... Go for it.
