Mark multiple points

Mark multiple points

[mirror]

C-x / and C-x j does good work for many individual markers, naming with
characters.

I am looking for pushing the markers into stack. So, I can go forward
or backward, without naming with characters.

That's what C-Space does normally.

C-SPC runs the command set-mark-command
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
It is bound to C-@, C-SPC.
(set-mark-command ARG)

Set mark at where point is, or jump to mark.
With no prefix argument, set mark, and push old mark position on local
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
mark ring; also push mark on global mark ring if last mark was set in
another buffer.  Immediately repeating the command activates
`transient-mark-mode' temporarily.

With argument, e.g. C-u C-@, jump to mark, and pop a new position
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for mark off the local mark ring (this does not affect the global
mark ring).  Use C-x C-@ to jump to a mark off the global
mark ring (see `pop-global-mark').

Sounds interesting.  How would you use this ability to push/pop marks?

Thanks.
