How to jump back to the last position of the cursor in emacs?
In emacs, when i am editing a program, and miss-input some command and make the cursor jump to somewhere in other files. Is there a short-cut key or command to jump back to the last location of the cursor?
I believe what you are searching for is pop-global-mark
, usually bound to C-x C-@ and C-x C-SPC.
The global mark ring is updated automatically on many occasions such as buffer switching, accidental or otherwise.
You can use the command previous-buffer which in my version (GNU Emacs 23.2.1) is bound to C-x left-arrow
by default.
Just type Meta-x describe-key C-x left for further information
There is also winner-mode that binds C-c left arrow
to winner-undo which in short allows you to undo any change done to your windows.
In spacemacs C-o
is bound to evil-jump-backward
.
