After installing goto-last-change.el in a `load-path' directory and compiling it with `M-x byte-compile-file', load it with (require 'goto-last-change) or autoload it with (autoload 'goto-last-change "goto-last-change" "Set point to the position of the last change." t) You may also want to bind a key to `M-x goto-last-change', e.g. (global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\" 'goto-last-change) goto-last-change.el was written in response to the following: From: Dan Jacobson Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.bug Subject: function to go to spot of last change Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2003 00:15:08 +0000 (UTC) Sender: news Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: monty-python.gnu.org Why of course, a function to get the user to the spot of last changes in the current buffer(s?), that's what emacs must lack. How many times have you found yourself mosying [<-not in spell checker!?] thru a file when you wonder, where the heck was I just editing? Well, the best you can do is hit undo, ^F, and undo again, to get back. Hence the "burning need" for the additional function, which you might name the-jacobson-memorial-function, due to its brilliance. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
