Registers
RegText
Saving a position records a place in a buffer so that you can move back there later. Moving to a saved position switches to that buffer and moves point to that place in it.
C-x r SPC r

Save position of point in register r ( |
| C-x r j r | Jump to the position saved in register r (jump-to-register).
|
To save the current position of point in a register, choose a name
r and type C-x r SPC r. The register r
retains the position thus saved until you store something else in that
register.
The command C-x r j r moves point to the position recorded in register r. The register is not affected; it continues to record the same position. You can jump to the saved position any number of times.
If you use C-x r j to go to a saved position, but the buffer it was saved from has been killed, C-x r j tries to create the buffer again by visiting the same file. Of course, this works only for buffers that were visiting files.
