Motion Commands
The following commands are used to mark positions in the buffer.
| m ch | Store current point in the register ch. ch must be a lower-case ASCII letter. |
| m < | Set mark at the beginning of current buffer. |
| m > | Set mark at the end of current buffer. |
| m . | Set mark at point. |
| m , | Jump to mark (and pop mark off the mark ring). |
Emacs uses the mark ring to store marked positions. The commands m <, m > and m . not only set mark but also add it as the latest element of the mark ring (replacing the oldest one). By repeating the command `m ,' you can visit older and older marked positions. You will eventually be in a loop as the mark ring is a ring.
