I would be happy to comment each section start with a signifier-comment, such as ;; ** whereas all other comments would start ;;; or ; So, which would be more applicable to bind to F7 F8 for this ? - Tags, where it would be handy I suppose to collect the comment text on just that line. - Bookmarks, although the need for an individual Bookmark name is undesirable. - or a backward or forwards search for ";;** " Libraries commonly use a page separator (^L) for major sections. Then, you can navigate among pages using `C-x ]' (forward-page) and `C-x [' (backward-page). You can of course bind F7 and F8 to these commands. To insert a Control-L character (^L), use `C-q C-l'. Be aware that a page separator can also affect printing.
