Re: Tips for quick jumping back and forth

[C K Kashyap]

Thank you so much all of you ---

I think C-<SPC> C-<SPC> then C-u C-<SPC> works for me

The split window trick seems neat - actually very neat - One question though ... when I split the window and then move somewhere else, I would then have to switch to the other windows before making it the only one - right? Some extra key strokes seem to be involved.

What I like best about Emacs is that I could've written up a script and bound to keys as Andreas suggested but I prefer to do find out if there is an "Emacs" way to do it already.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I shifted to Emacs a couple of years ago (after being a Vi guy for over 10 years!) because I fell in love with functional programming (in Haskell actually).

Regards,

Kashyap

Can vi undo just any navigation command?
