Yes, right. Drew mentioned "temporary bookmark", and I implemented it in my system already: Instead of this: (defun rcd-db-emacs-point-next () "Go to next Emacs point." (interactive) (let ((next (rcd-db-emacs-point-to-go "next"))) next)) I made this: (defun rcd-db-emacs-point-next () "Go to next Emacs point." (interactive) (rcd-db-emacs-point-record t) (let ((next (rcd-db-emacs-point-to-go "next"))) next)) and then (defun rcd-db-emacs-point-record (&optional temporary) "Record Emacs point in the database." (interactive) (let* ((buffer-name (buffer-name)) As if I am jumping now from this temporary mail buffer, even this is recorded, I can come back from jump, very handy. It is similar to changing buffers or browsing bookmarks in circle. When storing it in the database, it is possible to list it: 30 File: /home/data1/protected/Programming/emacs-lisp/rcd-cf.el 33 Buffer: RCD Notes Dashboard 35 Buffer: RCD Notes Dashboard 47 Buffer: RCD Notes Dashboard 65 File: /home/data1/protected/Programming/Software/emacs/lisp/windmove.el And then user could just mark some of them, and designate a "narrow session", a narrowed ring of files, buffers through which one can float, or move from one to each other, but not to something else. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
