Marks

Marks allow you to record your current position so that you can go back to it later. There are 2 types of marks:

• local
  • these work only on the page they were added on and are NOT persisted between browser restarts. They allow to you to save a position on a long, scrollable page. You can assign them to lowercase latin letters [a-z].
• global
  • these work anywhere and are persisted between browser restarts. You can assign them to uppercase latin letters [A-Z].

You can add a mark with markadd [key] or by using the default keybinding m[key]. To jump to a previously set mark, use markjump [key] or the default keybinding `[key]. You can also press `` to jump to the location before the last mark jump.

Try marking this position using mA. Switch to another tab and press `A to come back here. Press `` to go back to where you came from. You can also try setting a local mark using ma in the middle of a scrollable page, press gg to move to the top and then press `a to jump to the mark.
